The Rossignol Evo OT 65 ski package is a waxless Nordic touring set built for leaving the groomed track. The Control Step In binding included on the ski accepts NNN boots, and the XT 5 boot fits NNN bindings, so the two lock together as a system. A waxless Positrack base handles the climbs, and a pair of aluminum poles completes this cross-country ski package. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"Once the trail turned uneven, the ski's medium sidecut let me steer through mixed snow without fighting it. Cinching the boot's powerstrap before a descent kept my heel and cuff locked in, so the skis answered every turn. That is why I would take this set over a track-only one."
