    Calling all senders!!!! The Rossignol Black Ops Sender ski is your new (old) (from 2022) best friend. Make new friends, but keep the old, right? A remake of the famed Soul 7, this ski is stable and powerful on various conditions. An East Coast skier at heart, I feel at home on a ski with some metal. The Black Ops Sender has some metal underfoot, giving it stability on harder snow, while having enough rocker to float along on powder. This is a great all-mountain option for skiers who like to hop around in the trees and enjoy the softer snow when we get it.

    Our Take On The 2022 Rossignol Black Ops Sender:

    You hear people telling their buddies to "send it!" and while you understand that the phrase expresses some primal form of be-rad sentiment, you don't know what "send it" means. Let us enlighten you. "Send it" comes from climbing, a shortened version of "ascend it," where it is used to encourage a climber before he or she spiders up a wall. No, it doesn't directly make sense when applied to skiing. But if you think of "sending it" as a cross between going for it and crushing it, you'll be in the club. The Sender, a brand-new spinoff from the famed Soul 7, is a ski that inspires you to send it. All it takes is one look at the rugged camo-ish topsheets and redesigned shape to know there are some pointed differences between the Sender and the Soul 7 it replaces. For one, the Sender features some metal underfoot that adds stability and power. Pair that with less rocker, less taper, and a flatter tail, and you get a strong ski that grips hard snow and busts through mixed conditions. It's a smooth, reliable ride. Like the Soul 7, though, the Sender eats up soft snow with enough rocker for surfing powder and making tight turns in tight places. It wants to be skied hard, but it is less demanding than the more-aggressive Sender Ti, thanks to a narrower metal beam underfoot plus a lighter wood (paulownia) in the core. It's also offered in more sizes. These skis can be a quiver-of-one for western freeride skiers or anyone looking for an all-mountain ski with a bent for powder. No more confusion. Now you can send it. Similar skis: Blizzard Rustler 10, Salomon Stance 102, Dynastar M-Pro 105.
