Why Our Salomon Escape Skis are Perfect for Your Adventure
Thinking about trying cross-country skiing? Our Salomon Escape Snow Cross Country Skis are the ideal choice for your rental!
We specifically chose these skis because they make learning easy, ensuring you spend less time fumbling and more time enjoying the beautiful trails.
Why You’ll Love These Skis:
Effortless Grip, No Fuss: These skis are waxless. They feature a special skin grip base that gives you a reliable kick and grip on the snow every time, without needing messy kick wax. Just step in and go!
Built-in Stability: The slightly wider shape and design (S-Cut) provide fantastic stability and control. You’ll feel comfortable and secure whether you’re moving on a groomed track or exploring a gentle, untouched path.
Simple & Fast Setup: Our skis come with user-friendly Prolink Auto Bindings. They are an automatic, step-in system that’s incredibly easy to use. We’ll show you once, and you’ll be clicking in and out of your skis like a pro.
Perfect for: First-time skiers, families, recreational users, and anyone who wants a simple, comfortable, and reliable day on the snow!

Sue Schroeder
I began skiing on wood skis as a kid in southern Wisconsin, then I spent many years focused on telemark and backcountry skiing enjoying deep powder days as a graduate student in Utah. I began Nordic racing about 20 years ago, and have competed in several World Masters races along with many Sisus, Birkies, and other citizen races. I raced with the Loppet Elite Masters on Nordic Skis (LEMONS) in Minneapolis for 5 years, before I started spending my winters in Ironwood where the snow is better! I have completed USSA Level 100 instruction, and received 15 years of professional coaching myself. I provide either skate or classic lessons for beginners to advanced intermediate skiers. If desired, I also use video to analyze ski technique. I would love to share tips to make your skiing more efficient and fun!
