Rossignol XP 120 POSITRACK 2.0 2027
Built for skiers who venture beyond groomed tracks and into deep, untracked terrain, the Rossignol XP 120 redefines what a backcountry Nordic ski can be. As the widest ski in the XP family, it combines the float and downhill capability of a powder-focused platform with the efficiency and simplicity of a traditional waxless backcountry ski. A redesigned rounded tip shape helps the ski stay on top of soft snow, improving flotation and maneuverability when conditions get deep.
At the heart of the XP 120 is Rossignol's new Positrack 2.0 technology, featuring a reversed scale pattern that delivers improved climbing grip without sacrificing the convenience of a waxless setup. The lightweight LDC (Low Density Core) keeps weight manageable despite the ski's generous dimensions, while fiberglass laminates and Activ'Cap construction provide stability and control across the wider platform. Full-length steel edges enhance downhill confidence and edge hold, while compatibility with the R-Skin Free climbing skin system adds versatility for steeper terrain. For skiers looking to explore deep snow without moving to a full alpine touring setup, the XP 120 offers a compelling blend of flotation, efficiency, and backcountry capability.
