The 2025 Salomon Escape 64 Outpath with Prolink Auto binding is a lightweight, steel-edged cross-country package designed for skiers who want the freedom to explore both groomed tracks and unmaintained trails. Its waxless base and reinforced core deliver dependable performance in a wide variety of conditions, giving skiers the confidence to leave the tracks behind.

Why we like it:

This ski stands out for its off-track capability without sacrificing ease of use. It brings a rare blend of stability and maneuverability that makes it just as comfortable breaking trail through rolling woods as it is gliding through set tracks.

Who it's for:

The Escape 64 Outpath is ideal for adventurous recreational skiers who split their time between groomed and ungroomed terrain, especially those who want a ski that feels stable and secure in unpredictable snow.

Highlights:

Built with a wood core that’s reinforced by plastic and fiberglass, the Escape 64 Outpath feels solid underfoot while remaining light enough for extended touring. Its Posigrip base provides a reliable waxless kick and glide, and the full steel edges offer added grip and control when conditions get firm or terrain gets tricky.

Things to consider:

Though it performs well on groomed trails, this ski’s wider profile and metal edges are geared more toward mixed and backcountry terrain. Pure track skiers might find it more ski than they need.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Escape 64 Outpath is available in lengths ranging from 165 to 205 cm, and sizing is typically determined by skier weight and preferred usage. At 195 cm, it weighs in at 1960 grams.
