Rossignol XP 120 Positrack Ski

The XP 120 Positrack 2.0 Ski carries a rounded tip shape borrowed from the XP 85 and XP 105, letting it sit on top of soft snow instead of diving under the surface the way a narrower Nordic ski would. Full-length steel edges add real downhill control at speed, a departure from the flat, edge-free base most cross-country skis rely on. An LDC Core paired with fiberglass laminates and Activ'Cap construction keeps swing weight manageable even at 120mm underfoot, so the width adds float without turning every stride into a slog.
