2026 Rossignol Nova 4 Women's Skis with Fischer RC 85 Boots and Poles

The 2026 Rossignol Nova 4 W with Xpress 10 GW binding and is a lightweight frontside ski package designed for women ready to move beyond beginner terrain and into a more confident, controlled experience. With a stable platform and forgiving flex, this setup helps developing skiers feel secure while expanding their skills across groomed slopes. We paired the Nova 4 with the Fischer RC 85 Women’s Ski Boots because it’s a lightweight, confidence-building boot that’s ideal for progressing skiers who want comfort and control in equal measure. The 85 flex is supportive without being overwhelming, making it easy to steer and pressure the ski while still remaining forgiving. Fischer’s fit provides a secure feel that improves responsiveness and balance, making this an excellent pairing for frontside and all-mountain skis aimed at intermediate women who want to ski stronger and longer.

Why we like it:

The Nova 4 W strikes a great balance between comfort and performance, offering a smooth and approachable ride with enough edge grip to reward better technique. It’s a ski that encourages progress without adding pressure.

Who it's for:

This package is ideal for women transitioning out of the beginner phase and looking for a ski that’s responsive enough to support faster speeds and deeper turns. It’s especially well-suited to those who want an easygoing ride that still has room to grow.

Highlights:

A narrow waist and short turn radius make the Nova 4 W nimble and easy to maneuver, while the Assist Flex profile softens the tip and tail for smooth transitions between turns. Its PEFC™-certified poplar wood core keeps things lightweight and lively, and the full cap construction improves durability and swing weight. At just 3.0 kg per pair, it’s light on the legs but steady underfoot. The integrated Xpress 10 GW bindings allow for quick setup and tool-free adjustability. A 100 mm last, 85 flex, and adjustable cuff offer a secure yet forgiving feel. Women's-specific cuff height improves comfort.

Things to consider:

The Nova 4 W is designed with progression in mind, so high-level skiers seeking top-end performance and stiffness may find it lacking for aggressive, high-speed skiing.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Nova 4 W skis true to size. For newer skiers, chin-to-nose height is recommended; experienced skiers who prefer more stability may consider sizing slightly longer. Fits most women’s feet well out of the box; slightly roomier than race boots. Go true to size.
