Our Opinion
Strong, smooth, and reliable. The Sender will ride hard, whether you're cutting through crud or floating in powder. This could be a perfect all-mountain option if you're one of the lucky souls living in a western powder destination.
More About This Ski
Get ready to send it with the gravity-first mindset of the men's Rossignol Blackops Sender skis. They provide effortless fun for everything from first tracks to hardpack, with versatility to spare. Equipped with a versatile 104mm waist width, smooth rocker lines, and a relatively flat, stiff tail, the Black Ops Senders will immediately slot in as the ideal daily driver for many, confidently handling everything from boilerplate to blower.
