Wider skis need a boot built to keep pace, and the BC X 6 boot in this XP 120 Positrack touring package does that with a Dual Core build that targets stiffness only where the ski's 120mm underfoot actually needs it. The wide Rottefella Nordic BC sole carries that control down through binding contact, while the ski's rounded tip keeps it floating over soft snow instead of digging in. The two-piece aluminum BC 100 poles round out the package, adjusting from 90 to 150cm to match the climb or the descent. What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I broke trail on a mixed pitch, part packed, part fresh, and the boot's stiffer zone kept my edge locked in through the firm sections without fighting me in the soft ones. The wide sole gave the ski real support instead of feeling like it was floating loose underfoot, and I never had to stop and readjust the poles once I found my stride."
