Alpina Pioneer 80 PM Xplore Ski - 2027 Black/Grey, 197cm

The Alpina Pioneer 80 PM Xplore ski comes pre-mounted with the Rottefella Xplore binding system, pairing full metal edges with a mobility-focused walk mode built for ungroomed terrain. An 80-58-69 sidecut and cambered profile hold an edge on firmer snow while still floating through variable backcountry conditions, and a waxless base balances glide and grip without upkeep. The Xplore system adds lateral stability underfoot without giving up the stride skiers expect from a touring setup. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I stopped choosing between a ski that tours well and one that actually turns on the way down. The metal edges hold when I drop into a steeper pitch, and the Xplore binding still lets my heel move enough to cover distance on the flats."
