2026 Salomon Outside 82 Grip Cross Country Skis W/ BC Outside Bindings
The 2026 Salomon Outside 82 is a true backcountry classic ski, built to handle deep snow, rolling terrain, and unpredictable surfaces with confidence and control. Wider than its siblings and fitted with full steel edges and rocker, this ski is made for skiers who want to break trail, climb, descend, and repeat. Outfitted with Salomon’s BC Outside binding, it’s ready for ambitious winter travel right out of the box.
Why we like it:
With its generous 82 mm tip and full metal edge, the Outside 82 strikes an excellent balance between float and precision—ideal for skiers looking to go further into the backcountry without jumping to a full alpine touring setup.
Who it's for:
This ski is best suited for experienced Nordic skiers who want a wide platform for deep snow stability.
Highlights:
The Outside Rocker profile increases float and eases maneuverability when breaking trail or navigating tight trees. The full steel edges provide trustworthy grip in crusty, icy, or off-camber conditions, while the reinforced wood core offers durability without making the ski overly stiff or punishing. Combined with a 70 mm waist and 82 mm shovel, the Outside 82 handles variable snowpack like a pro.
Things to consider:
As a wide Nordic ski with a full steel edge, this is not the tool for long in-track days or classic Nordic workouts – in fact, a ski this wide will not fit into groomed Nordic tracks, so best to leave this one at home if you’re looking to spend the day in track.
Fit & sizing considerations:
These ski true to size and length should be chosen based on the skier’s weight.
