The Nova 8 2025 + Xpress W 11 GW ski from Rossignol is designed for women skiers looking for performance and precision on the slopes.
The ski core is made from PEFC poplar wood, a material renowned for its lightness, durability and ability to absorb vibrations. The PEFC also certifies that the material comes from sustainably managed sources. This core is complemented by layers of fibreglass and titanal, which provide extra rigidity and stability, essential for a precise, controlled ride.
The Active Flex technology is a key feature of this model, specially designed to deliver intuitive performance and put you in control. The Rectangular Full Sidewall construction combines a horizontal layer of base materials with full-length vertical sidewalls. This optimises edge grip, precision, balance and power, allowing perfect control in curves. The V-Profile ensures perfect edge grip.
The Carbon Alloy Matrix uses a unique fusion of carbon and basalt woven with glass fibres. This combination offers power, stability, grip and effective vibration absorption, ensuring a smooth glide and balanced flex from tip to tail. The Oversized Sidecut combines the cut of a traditional carving ski with modern underfoot widths, offering powerful precision, excellent grip and increased stability. The Sintered HD Base base guarantees fast, durable gliding in all snow conditions.
The Xpress W 11 GW binding is a system designed for skiers looking for safety and comfort. - Thanks to its lightweight design and user-friendly features, this system offers all-round performance for recreational skiers. Compatible with the soles of traditional downhill boots ISO 5355 A and GripWalk® ISO 23223 A.
The Nova 8 2025 + Xpress W 11 GW is therefore a top-of-the-range downhill ski, ideal for women skiers looking for the perfect blend of power, precision and comfort, offering an exceptional skiing experience on all types of piste.

| Active Flex | Some swear by speed, while others prefer a more relaxed approach to the slopes. Our new ADAPTIVE FLEX meets the needs of every skier with three unique flex profiles (BOOST, ACTIVE, ASSIST) that give you the flex you want. Flex Active is designed to deliver intuitive all-day performance and give you greater control over your skis. |
| Rectangular Full Sidewall | The construction comprises a horizontal layer of base material combined with full-length vertical sidewalls (edges) to provide optimum edge grip, precision, balance and power. |
| Carbon Alloy Matrix | This technology has been developed to achieve the highest levels of power, stability and grip, and represents the start of a revolutionary generation of fibres. The unique combination of carbon and basalt woven with glass fibres is the result of a skilful, yet unequalled dosage. This fusion gives the ski power and solidity, while ensuring dynamism and lightness, not forgetting maximum vibration absorption and balanced flex from tip to tail. |
| V-Profile | Provides dynamic flexibility and powerful edge grip. |
| Piste Rocker | Designed for precision cross-country skiing, our On Trail Rocker profile features a traditional camber over 95% of the length of the ski for explosive power, instant and square grip, with a subtle tip rocker (5%) for easy turn initiation and control. |
| Oversized Sidecut | It combines the shape of a carving ski with the current widths underfoot, for powerful precision and excellent grip, including increased stability and control. |
| Sintered HD Base | Offers high gliding performance and durability in all snow conditions. |
