Cross country skis for classic style: The Rossignol XT VENTURE WXLS offers good stability and is suitable for recreational skiers. Durable wooden core with air channels make them lightweight. The Active Cup top layer stiffens the ski in torsion, but also provides the natural flex needed to follow the surface and make good contact with the snow. The AR Plus flake chute provides a good combination of rebound and glide without the use of climbing waxes in most snow conditions. The slight camber of the ski provides better stability on and off the trail and the traditional longer ski lengths ensure a better glide. The skis have a TURNAMIC® pad that is compatible with various types of TURNAMIC® bindings. This binding system does not limit the flexibility of the skis and allows ideal energy transfer to the push off. The bindings can be easily moved across the pad to regulate the bounce force and the quality of the slide.
