For Nordic skiing enthusiasts who want a versatile set of skis and bindings for both in and out of track skiing, the Rossignol Evo OT 60 skis and bindings are a fantastic option.

Why we like it:

With a light build, fish scale grips, and a partial metal edge, these skis are incredibly utilitarian. There’s a lot of mobility and maneuverability built in here as well, with a slightly narrower shape than many skis with partial metal edges, these skis can be efficient in the classic track and be confident in an off-track and trail setting. These OT skis are like having all-wheel drive in your cross-country skis. The Control Step In Bindings add value and cohesiveness to this setup.

Who it's for:

This is a pretty casual ski, you can be quite chill on the OT 60 if you want. That said, if you’re looking for something a bit rugged but not too gnarly, this is a great middle-ground choice. You likely spend most of your time shuffling in the tracks, but you’re not opposed to being adventurous from time to time either.

Highlights:

Built with a wood core and active cap construction, the Rossignol Evo OT 60 uses fiberglass for energy and a lighter milled core for efficiency. With Rossignol’s AR Positrack waxless pattern, you’ll get great grip and glide regardless of snow conditions. The bindings are also customizable, with the ability to move fore or aft in the ski to alter the grip to glide ratio.

Things to consider:

If you’re looking to smash the local race record, these skis aren’t the fastest.
