The Rossignol Evo XT 55 Positrack Cross Country Skis with Tour Step-In Bindings make exploring winter trails easy, comfortable, and fun for beginner Nordic skiers. Designed with a shorter length and stable, easy-to-control profile, these recreational cross country skis are perfect for learning proper technique, cruising groomed tracks, and enjoying relaxed winter adventures. The waxless Positrack base provides dependable grip for climbing and smooth glide across varying snow conditions without the hassle of applying kick wax. Rossignol's lightweight Low Density Wood Core features air channels that reduce weight while maintaining a lively, responsive feel, while Activ Cap construction offers a forgiving flex and reliable control over uneven terrain. A medium sidecut makes turning easier, and the stone-finished base promotes efficient gliding. Complete with pre-mounted Tour Step-In Bindings, the Rossignol Evo XT 55 Positrack offers a convenient, beginner-friendly cross country ski package that's ready to help you discover the joy of Nordic skiing.
Rossignol's Low Density Core construction uses a lightweight wood core with integrated air channels to reduce overall ski weight while maintaining strength and energy. This construction makes the Evo XT 55 easier to handle and more efficient to move, helping recreational skiers enjoy longer outings with less fatigue.
Activ Cap construction combines Rossicap technology with multidirectional fiberglass to create a supple, forgiving flex from tip to tail while maintaining torsional rigidity. This balance allows the skis to glide smoothly over uneven terrain while providing predictable control for developing Nordic skiers.
The Positrack waxless base features a thermoformed grip pattern designed to balance reliable kick and efficient glide across a variety of snow conditions. The textured grip zone eliminates the need for traditional kick wax, making it easier to get out on the trails without complicated preparation.
Rossignol's Short Ski Concept uses shorter ski lengths to improve maneuverability, control, and ease of use. The more manageable design makes turning, stopping, and navigating winding trails less intimidating, especially for skiers who are still building confidence and technique.
The versatile medium sidecut provides a balance of stability and maneuverability for recreational Nordic skiing. It helps skiers maintain control on groomed tracks and navigate gentle, ungroomed sections without sacrificing an efficient touring feel.
The two-part TURNAMIC Integrated Fixation Plate features a slim, flexible design with a single front anchor point. This construction helps maintain the ski's natural flex while improving precision and snow feel. Its lightweight design also reduces weight by approximately 10 grams compared with the referenced construction.
A precision-milled stone finish helps optimize glide performance for smooth, efficient movement across the snow. This treatment supports consistent tracking and an enjoyable touring experience on packed winter trails.
The included Tour Step-In bindings provide a convenient, beginner-friendly connection between ski and boot. Their step-in design makes getting ready for a day on the trails quick and simple, while the free-heel Nordic configuration allows natural movement during the classic cross country skiing stride.
The Tour Step-In bindings come pre-mounted on the skis, eliminating the need to purchase and install a separate binding system. Simply pair the setup with compatible Nordic boots, confirm the binding fit and adjustment, and you're ready to explore.
Boot Compatibility: The Tour Step-In binding system is intended for compatible NNN-style Nordic touring boots, including compatible Prolink and Turnamic boot soles. NNN BC backcountry boots and traditional alpine ski boots are not compatible. Confirm the exact binding model and boot sole compatibility before use.

Weight-Based Sizing: Cross country skis are primarily sized according to skier weight rather than height. Selecting the appropriate length helps ensure the Positrack grip zone engages properly during the kick phase while maintaining smooth glide.
Between Sizes: If your weight falls within two recommended size ranges, a shorter ski generally offers easier maneuverability and control, while a longer ski may provide improved glide and tracking. Your skiing ability and intended terrain should also influence your choice.
Beginner-Friendly Design: The shorter ski concept, forgiving flex, and medium sidecut make the Evo XT 55 a great option for new Nordic skiers learning classic technique and developing confidence on winter trails.
Waxless Maintenance: The Positrack grip pattern does not require traditional kick wax, but the glide zones can still benefit from appropriate Nordic glide wax and routine base maintenance.
Binding Compatibility: The included Tour Step-In bindings require compatible Nordic touring boots. Confirm your boot sole system before purchasing, as NNN BC and traditional alpine boots are not compatible with standard Nordic touring bindings.
