2027 Salomon Outside 65 Grip Cross Country Skis W/ BC Outside Bindings

Built for exploration beyond the groomed track, the 2027 Salomon Outside 65 is a versatile backcountry Nordic ski designed for confident off-trail travel. With full steel edges, tip rocker, and a stable wood core, it strikes a balance between floatation, edge grip, and easy handling in mixed terrain. Pre-mounted with Salomon's BC Outside binding, it’s ready for untethered winter wandering.

Why we like it:

This ski makes venturing into rolling woods and uneven snow surprisingly intuitive—thanks to its Outside Rocker and full metal edges, it handles uneven terrain without feeling twitchy or cumbersome.

Who it's for:

A perfect match for intermediate to advanced Nordic skiers who prioritize off-track travel, especially those looking to access unmaintained terrain with confidence.

Highlights:

The full-length steel edges deliver critical grip and control on off camber traverses or icy descents, while the Outside Rocker improves float and turnability when conditions get soft or variable. A durable Woodcore reinforced with fiberglass gives the Outside 65 the backbone to handle rugged terrain without feeling overly stiff or punishing.

Things to consider:

With its wider platform and full steel edges, this ski is overbuilt for consistent groomed track use. Classic track skiers or beginners looking to stay in the lane will likely prefer something narrower and more in line with traditional Nordic profiles. The binding that comes pre-mounted on these skis is a NNN BC binding, so you’ll need a BC compatible boot to go with them.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size; choose your length based on your skier weight. Size up for more glide in open terrain, or size down for better maneuverability in tight terrain.
