Rossignol BC 125

No Lift Ticket needed!! Much more than a Touring Ski

A review on: Rossignol BC 125
Skidmarks

Pros: positrack base allows you to climb low angles without skins

Cons: positrack base on hard packed descents

What an amazing ski! I had my eye on this ski for touring at first but quickly found that it was great in most of my back-country stashes. At 123/95/120 the BC 125 has plenty of float and used with a beefier boot was perfect for down mountain skiing.

Alpina Woody Ski

Alpina Woody Ski

“ Found these on gear trade for $55.00 ! They were a shop display that were unused and had a hole drilled in them. I think these are roughly the same size as the Discoveries. I also found NNN BC bindings for $20 so I figured whynot? Bought them to have as a back up for heavy snowfall days . They seem very well constructed and have that very durable scuff resistant topsheet.  I can't wait...” --beungood

Alpina Tracker Cross Country Ski

Alpina Tracker Cross Country Ski

“ Ive bought a set of these after renting them several times at Windblown Cross Country center in New Hampshire. I wanted a pair of my own skis that would be good off track but still have the ability to fit in tracks and could handle icy conditions and not wash out. My pair were the yellow version, but I found a Green version for 4139.00 on Sierra trading and steep and cheap. I had alot of fun...” --beungood

2013 Praxis Woo - 2.0 Ski

2013 Praxis Woo - 2.0 Ski

The Wootest was conceived last year in a very special way via internet forum chatter. Essentially Praxis was approached with an idea, heavily supported by backcountry skiers, who wanted a ski that stayed light for man-powered ascents yet slayed powder on the way down. It was decided that our popular Protest model had the right design but that a slimmer version would be ideal for what those...

From the beginning, however, the shape stood out as an obvious winner and has seen very...
