Most Valuable Gear: Rossignol BC 70 Positrack Ski

The perfect Nordic ski for exploring —on or off of the trail

Nordic skiing isn't just for groomed trails or tracks. When adventure calls, grab a pair of metal edged Nordic skis with a versatile shape. Whether you are skiing in your backyard, exploring the beauty of untracked woods, or venturing off-trail, a versatile, all-terrain Nordic ski like the Rossignol BC 70 Positrack is a great option to help you get out and explore. Featuring a durable yet lightweight design, steel edges and a versatile shape, the BC 70 Positrack is a do-it-all Nordic ski for a variety of conditions and terrain. All-terrain performance and numerous features are why we have selected this ski for the Outdoor Gear Exchange/ GearX.com Most Valuable Gear!

Here are 3 reasons why we are excited about the Rossignol BC 70 Positrack :

1. Lightweight, Durable Construction

For nimbly managing downhills in soft snow and maneuvering through tight, technical areas, the Rossignol BC 70 Positrack features a low density wood-core construction with air channels for weight reduction. While the ski's construction makes it exceptional for handling soft snow and ascending, this lighter weight does not mean a sacrifice in durability. Full-length steel edges and Activ'cap topsheet construction resists wear and chipping in rough terrain.

2. On- or Off-Trail Versatility

The Rossignol BC 70 Positrack Nordic ski is versatile and can handle a variety of terrain features and conditions on or off of a groomed trail. The BC 70 features a relatively tall camber height, which provides efficient kicking and gliding on hard snow, crud or powder. The wide side cut and full-length metal edges provide exceptional maneuverability and control on descents and tight terrain. The ski is also slightly wider than traditional nordic skis for float in soft snow, but not so wide as to hinder performance on groomed trails.

3. Positrack Waxless Patterned Base

The BC 70 utilizes Rossignol's AR Positrack Waxless pattern base. This thermoformed waxless scale pattern on the base of the ski provides excellent grip in the kick-zone of the ski, as well as smooth gliding. The Positrack base is an efficient compromise between grip and glide that makes the Rossignol BC 70 the perfect ski for exploring undulating, varied terrain in any snow conditions.
