BC 110 Positrack Ski

Out of Rossi's collection of backcountry Nordic skis, the BC 110 Positrack Ski is the widest option with waxless Positrack bases for the utmost stability and confident downhill performance. The BC 110's Positrack base eliminates the need for kick wax while maintaining excellent glide. Its LDC wood core has milled channels throughout to minimize weight. Active Cap construction utilizes a flexible design to increase float and performance in uneven snow, and sandwiches it in a multi-directional fiberglass laminate for torsional stiffness when you're pushing the BC 110 downhill.

The BC 110 isn't the widest ski in Rossignol's Nordic touring lineup—that would be the BC 125—but at 110mm in the tip it certainly has enough float to prevent you getting bogged down. It also boasts a slightly rockered tip and wide sidecut designed to keep you stable in soft and variable conditions. Full-length metal edges and a taller camber profile let the BC hold its own on harder snow and make short work of chop and wind slab.
