2024 Salomon Escape Outback 83 Positrack Skis with Salomon Escape Outback Boots and Poles
The 2025 Salomon Escape Outback 83 with BC Outside binding and Salomon Escape Outback is a rugged and reliable backcountry package built for skiers who want to venture off the beaten path. With full metal edges, a wide platform, and a waxless Posigrip base, the Escape Outback 83 is well-suited for breaking trail through rolling terrain and tackling variable snow conditions in the wilderness. This setup gives skiers the confidence and grip they need to explore low-angle, off-track terrain without the hassle of wax. We paired the Escape Outback 83 Positrack with the Salomon Escape Outback Cross Country Ski Boots because it’s designed for stability and control when skiing beyond groomed trails. The Outback boot offers more structure and support than a track-style classic boot, helping keep skis tracking predictably when snow is soft, uneven, or variable. It’s a great match for off-track and touring-oriented skis, giving skiers extra confidence and comfort for longer adventures in changing conditions.
Why we like it:
This ski is a true backcountry workhorse, providing solid grip and dependable control in less-than-ideal snow. It thrives in unpredictable conditions and keeps things simple, making it a top choice for adventurous off-trail touring.
Who it's for:
This package is best for intermediate to advanced Nordic skiers who prefer to leave the groomed tracks behind. It’s ideal for rolling terrain, mixed snowpacks, and light exploration in remote areas.
Highlights:
The 83/61/72 sidecut gives the ski a stable and supportive feel, while full metal edges help it maintain control on icy crusts or compacted snow. Its waxless G1 Posigrip base ensures consistent grip in a variety of temperatures, eliminating the need for kick wax. When paired with the BC Outside binding, this ski becomes a lightweight yet capable platform for off-grid touring.
Things to consider:
While the Escape Outback 83 is excellent for breaking trail and exploring off-track, it’s not designed for speed or groomed trail efficiency. Skiers who stick to classic tracks may prefer a narrower, more glide-oriented option.
Fit & sizing considerations:
At 190 cm, the Escape Outback 83 follows traditional Nordic sizing based on skier height and weight. Those planning to spend more time in tight trees or technical terrain may want to size down slightly for improved maneuverability.
