2024 Salomon Outback 64 Positrack Cross Country Skis

The 2024 Salomon Escape Outpath 64 Posigrip is a lightweight, edge-free touring package made for skiers looking to roam beyond the groomed track. With a balanced platform and confidence-inspiring grip, this ski is built to handle rolling terrain and varied snow without the bulk of metal edges.

Why we like it:

This setup strikes a perfect balance for adventurous skiers who want to explore off the beaten path without committing to a heavy-duty backcountry rig. It keeps things simple, stable, and efficient, making it an easy choice for off-track touring.

Who it's for:

Ideal for intermediate cross-country skiers, this package suits those seeking efficient glide and dependable grip while exploring light backcountry zones, forest trails, or ungroomed fields.

Highlights:

At its core, the Outpath 64 features a traditional wood construction for natural durability and resilience. The Posigrip base provides consistent, maintenance-free grip across varied snow conditions, removing the need for waxing or skins. A G1 base helps maintain smooth glide, while the 64-52-60 sidecut ensures agile handling for tighter or more technical terrain. With a weight of just 1900 grams per pair, it stays light and nimble for all-day adventures.

Things to consider:

While this ski handles light touring and rolling terrain well, it’s not designed for aggressive descents or icy, steep conditions. Those needing more edge control in firm snow may prefer a metal-edged alternative.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Available in lengths from 165 to 205 cm, the Outpath 64 should be sized according to skier weight and terrain preference. Longer skis enhance glide for open areas, while shorter lengths provide added control in tighter terrain.
