2026 Rossignol Nova 14 Women's Skis with Fischer RC 95W Boots and Poles

Top billing in Rossignol's Nova line goes to the Nova 14, a high-performance women's frontside ski built for strong, stable carving. It delivers a more refined and powerful ride than the rest of the collection, holding a line cleanly as speeds and forces build on groomed snow. Skiers with technique to spend will find it rewards every bit of input. [boot PKG overview]

Who it's for:

Advanced women who ski groomers hard and have the technique to drive a ski rather than ride it. It's the right call for former racers, instructors, and skiers who have outgrown the forgiving end of the women's frontside market.

Things to consider:

This is a demanding ski, and it needs to be skied to work; a skier who is tentative or still developing will find it stiff and unrewarding. Its narrow frontside build also has little to offer in soft snow or off-trail terrain.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Carving skis reward length because a longer edge holds a cleaner arc, so a confident skier should take the longer of two options. Only drop down if most of your skiing happens on short, tight trails where quickness matters more than stability.
