2027 Rossignol Skis with Rossignol Boots and Poles

The Rossignol XP 120 is the widest and most adventuresome ski in the XP family; it's a backcountry Nordic ski that behaves like a powder ski once the snow gets deep. A rounded tip shape keeps it riding on top of soft snow, the new Positrack 2.0 scaled base uses a reversed pattern that bites harder on climbs, and full-length steel edges bring downhill manners a traditional Nordic profile cannot deliver. Skiers touring untracked terrain get float, climbing traction, and real turning ability at a width most cross-country setups never reach. [boot PKG overview]

Who it's for:

Advanced and committed backcountry skiers who tour in deep, untracked terrain and want real float without crossing into the weight and complexity of an alpine touring setup. A natural choice for skiers who already know they want the widest ski in a Nordic family.

Things to consider:

Plan to pair this with the Xplore binding or another wide-bodied backcountry binding to complete the setup. The width that makes the XP 120 thrive in soft snow will feel like overkill on packed trails or hard-surface days; if your skiing leans more on-trail, the XP 85 or XP 105 will be a better all-arounder.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The XP 120 runs a short three-length range and sizes a touch small for its category because of the width and the rounded tip, so the chart figure is usually the right call. Skiers who spend their days in tight timber can shave a length for easier steering, while anyone covering long, open ground will want the extra waterline of a longer pair. [boot sizing specifics]
