Rossignol BC Positrack

While you can technically use them on groomed trails, they are significantly wider than standard cross-country skis. You will find them cumbersome in narrow, set tracks, but they perform well on wider, multi-use trails or ungroomed resort areas.

No, the Positrack base is waxless, meaning it uses a patterned texture to provide grip on the snow. You do not need to apply kick wax, though applying a glide wax to the tip and tail can help maintain performance over time.

Yes, the full-length steel edges and sandwich sidewall construction provide the stability and edge grip needed for controlled turns on descents. However, they are designed primarily for backcountry touring rather than aggressive downhill resort skiing.

Yes, the skis are designed to accommodate climbing skins. This is a great option if you plan on tackling steeper terrain where the waxless base might not provide enough traction on its own.

Because of the alpine binding mount plate, these skis are compatible with Telemark, Alpine Touring, and standard Alpine bindings. Your choice should depend on whether you prioritize uphill efficiency or downhill control.

The 95mm waist width and subtle tip rocker provide enough float to keep you on top of fresh powder. They are built to handle varied backcountry conditions, making them much more capable in deep snow than traditional, skinny cross-country skis.
