The read

A mid-waist all-mountain ski with tip-and-tail rocker and a full titanal layer, the Arcade 88 targets groomed and variable terrain with a turn radius shorter than most all-mountain skis in the catalog. Its full metal construction leans stable and damp at speed while the rocker profile aids initiation across changing snow. Rossignol designed it for engaged skiers, patrollers, and instructors seeking a single ski for all-day, all-condition use.

Specs & what they mean

What the Arcade 88's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 15.0-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper keeps turn entry easy and the shovel quick to engage.

Stability & dampness

A full titanal layup gives it a damp, planted build that holds a line through rough snow and rewards a forward, driving stance. At 1,950 g there's real mass behind the metal to settle it at speed.

Float & width

At 88 mm it's an all-rounder leaning toward firm snow — enough width for soft conditions, still quick on edge. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
