2027 Rossignol XP 105 Positrack Cross Country Skis

The 2027 Rossignol XP 105 Positrack is purpose-built for deep snow and untamed terrain, offering unmatched float and control in a waxless backcountry package. With a wide platform and full metal edge, it's the most capable off-trail ski in Rossignol's XP lineup.

Why we like it:

It brings serious float to the Nordic world—making it our go-to when the snow is deep and the trail doesn’t exist.

Who it's for:

Best for experienced skiers who prioritize off-trail touring in deep snow or hilly backcountry terrain. If your winter includes breaking trail through glades or remote woods, this ski belongs in your quiver.

Highlights:

The Positrack waxless base ensures traction on the climb without sacrificing glide on the flats, while the 105 mm tip provides ample float in untracked snow. A full metal edge delivers confidence and control when descending through variable terrain. Paired with the XPLORE binding system, the XP 105 allows for natural movement and stability far from the groomed trail.

Things to consider:

At 105 mm underfoot, this ski is built for soft snow and may feel overbuilt or sluggish in firm or tracked conditions. Lighter skiers or those staying closer to groomed terrain might find the narrower XP 85 a better fit.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Available in lengths from 160 to 190 cm, the XP 105 skis true to size. Select based on weight and terrain preferences—shorter for maneuverability, longer for glide and float.
