The Best Cross-Country Skis of 2027
What to know: Testers in the Midwest and Maine put more than 56 demo cross-country skis to the test. They named the Salomon Escape Outpath 65 Grip Cross-Country Skis with Prolink Bindings as the most versatile for skiing in and out of tracks. For skiers who like to go fast, they named the Fischer Speedpro 50 Skate as the best budget race ski.
Cross-country skiing is surging in popularity in the U.S. That expansion is due, in part, to the broad range of ski styles that suit every fitness level.
We tested all three styles of cross-country skis, including skate, classic, and backcountry. From a pool of 56 demo models, we evaluated skis that are optimized for beginners as well as models capable of helping accomplished skiers push their limits. From the most versatile in tracks to the best pairs for racing, these six cross-country skis impressed our testers most.
