Designed with sustainability in mind, the Rossignol Essential Skis represent a shift in mindset. From the energy used in production to the materials in the ski and the ability to recycle it, the Essential ski sets a new eco-minded standard. Featuring a total of 73% recycled, bio-based and natural materials, the ski is built in France using renewable energy. The process and materials allow for 77% of the ski to be recycled — that's ten times the rate of conventional skis. At 69mm underfoot, the high-performance carve-ready build includes full sidewalls, double titanal reinforcement, a certified wood core and a high-density sintered base. Join the movement. Be the change. Fast Engagement, Fluid Carving Oversize Side cut delivers a responsive feel with quick edge engagement and powerful, consistent carving. Maximum Edge Control Rectangular Sidewall construction combined with Wood/Ti Sidewalls delivers race-proven grip, precision and power. Sustainably-Minded Sustainable beech wood cores combined with the use of recycled base and edge materials help reduce the environmental impact of the product life cycle.
