The Rossignol XP 120 Positrack with [binding full name] is the widest and most float-oriented ski in Rossignol’s backcountry Nordic lineup. Designed to explore deep, untracked snow and rugged terrain, this ski combines a high-volume platform with full metal edges and a waxless base for true off-trail capability. Whether you're heading into remote glades, open meadows, or snowy logging roads, the XP 120 makes the adventure feel limitless. [binding KD overview]

Why we like it:

We love how the XP 120 turns flat, snowy woods into a playground. It offers massive float for fresh snow, edge grip for control, and enough lightness to make long tours feel easy. It's one of the few skis that can handle both mellow explorations and serious fall-line descents.

Who it's for:

Best for experienced backcountry skiers who want the widest platform possible for deep snow touring. If your idea of Nordic skiing includes breaking trail in remote areas, rolling through powder meadows, or even linking soft turns in glades, the XP 120 is a top choice.

Highlights:

The 90 mm waist and broad tip/tail create unmatched float in soft snow, while the Positrack waxless base offers excellent traction and glide across rolling or flat terrain. A full metal edge delivers control and confidence when conditions get firm or tricky. Built around Rossignol’s LCD core, the ski remains lightweight without sacrificing durability or energy.

Things to consider:

This ski is purpose-built for deep snow and wide-open exploration. For skiers sticking to firmer tracks, or who prefer lighter and narrower gear for efficiency, a ski like the XP 85 may be more appropriate.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The XP 120 skis true to size and is available in lengths up to 190 cm. Choose your size based on skier weight and intended terrain—shorter for maneuverability in trees, longer for extended glide and float.
