A confident step into the world of Nordic exploration, the 2026 Salomon Escape Outpath 60 is a lightweight, waxless ski designed primarily for in-track use, but with enough stability to handle light off-trail adventure when the mood strikes. It’s the kind of ski that welcomes both routine and detour, and shines in both applications.

Why we like it:

The Escape Outpath 60 blends classic track performance with just enough bite to handle fresh snow and variable terrain—making it ideal for skiers who like to wander.

Who it's for:

Best for beginner to intermediate Nordic skiers who plan to stick mostly to groomed tracks but want the flexibility to venture beyond them from time to time.

Highlights:

The ski’s 3/4 metal edges offer extra security and edge hold when snow conditions get unpredictable, and the waxless Posigrip base delivers low-maintenance traction across a variety of snow types. With a lightweight construction and pre-mounted Prolink Auto bindings, it's ready to glide right out of the box.

Things to consider:

While the Outpath 60 can handle the occasional off-track adventure, it’s not built for rugged backcountry routes or deep powder. Classic track skiers looking to explore more extreme terrain may want to consider a wider, burlier option.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These skis size true to weight-based Nordic sizing charts. Go longer for more glide, or shorter for added control, especially in tighter or undulating terrain.
