Rossignol XP12 Nordic Backcountry Ski Boot (Past Season)

The XP12 is a backcountry nordic boot for skiers who leave the groomed track for rolling hills and untracked snow. It uses the XPLORE sole, which Rossignol describes as wider and stiffer in torsion than a standard backcountry sole, and it fits XPLORE bindings only. Two speed lace locks let you tighten the upper and lower boot separately. That means you can snug the cuff for a descent and ease off the forefoot for the climb. A central zipper, a Velcro strap and a gaiter close over the laces.
