Rossignol BC Positrack

The BC 70 Positrack is designed specifically for off-trail and backcountry use. While you could technically fit them in a wide track, their width and steel edges are optimized for breaking trail, navigating deeper snow, and handling variable terrain outside of groomed Nordic centers.

No, these feature a waxless Positrack base, which uses a textured pattern to provide grip on the snow. You only need to apply a glide wax to the tip and tail sections to maintain performance, but the kick zone is maintenance-free.

The full-length steel edges provide significantly more bite and control on icy or hard-packed snow compared to standard cross-country skis. They are particularly helpful when you encounter crusty snow or need to make controlled turns on descents in the backcountry.

Rossignol's short ski concept uses a specific sidecut and construction that allows you to ski a shorter length than traditional Nordic skis without sacrificing stability. This makes the skis much more maneuverable in tight trees or uneven terrain, as there is less tail and tip to manage.

Yes, these skis come with integrated BC Auto touring bindings. This system is designed to be compatible with standard NNN BC (backcountry) boots, providing a stable connection for off-trail touring.

With a 60mm waist and a wider sidecut, these offer decent flotation for moderate snow depths. However, if you are frequently skiing in very deep, untracked powder, you might find wider backcountry-specific skis offer better float, though they will be less versatile on packed trails.
