Deep snow calls for specialist tools. Enter the Rossignol Sender 118, the hefty shred sticks designed for big dumps and hard chargers. While the Sender 118s are heavy and a somewhat demanding ski—lighter skiers may want to size down—they also come with the looser, freestyle DNA associated with the Sender line.

That means that in the hands of a skilled pilot, they can break free from turns, whip around in the air, and be used for quick slashes. But don’t get it twisted: these bad boys aren’t diminutive jib sticks. They’ve got a backbone, and they’ll have your back when the going gets bumpy at the end of a powder day.
