1 - Classic cross-country skiing 150 A PEAUX, the ski for beginners!
If you're a beginner and you'd like to discover classic cross-country skiing in a more leisurely mode: walking/sliding to observe nature and recharge your batteries without too much physical effort, then the 150 ski with skins is perfectly suited to your needs.
It's a wide, stable and easy-to-handle ski with a good grip that will make it easy for you to get started and discover the joys of classic cross-country skiing!
2 - Choosing the right SIZE
The size of a cross-country ski depends on your level of practice and your weight, not on your height.
For SKI 150 with skins:
- 25 to 34 Kg => 125 cm
- 30 to 39 Kg => 135 cm
- 35 to 44 Kg => 145 cm
- 40 to 49 Kg => 155 cm
- 45 to 54 Kg => 165 cm
- 55 to 64 Kg => 175 cm
If you're between two sizes:
- For greater comfort =privilege the smaller size, the ski will be easier to handle.
- For more sporty practice = prefer the larger size. For a more sporty style = choose the larger size.
3 - Keep it simple!
The grip on a cross-country ski is the area in the center of the sole (underside of the ski).
It provides "grip" so you don't slip on ascents, while guaranteeing smooth gliding on the flat or downhill.
There are 3 systems: flakes, retaining wax or skins.
The 150 ski is equipped with a mixed skin grip.
Skins provide the same quality of grip as flake soles, but have the advantage of not making noise and do not require waxing!
Changing skins
Your skins are worn, change them...

4 - BASIC auto bindings, simplicity at your fingertips!
All our skis are sold with Rottefella bindings compatible with NNN, Prolink and Turnamic standards.
The 150 skin skis are equipped with the Rottefella BASIC AUTO binding, perfect for beginner skiers.
It's easy to use thanks to its "step-in" function, which lets you put on your skis automatically with a simple press of the forefoot, and take them off by pressing the button on the front using the tip of your cross-country ski pole.
5 - Waxing, the secret of resistance
When you buy your skis, we recommend that you prepare the base of your skis properly to achieve their optimum glide level. We recommend several consecutive waxings to "feed" the base.
To maintain the performance of your skis, don't forget to wax them regularly!
To wax your skis, discover our tutorials on our You Tube channel Inovik or make an appointment in your workshop Decathlon.
LEXICLE = Building a ski
Our skis are designed using a "sandwich" process: superimposing different materials at the heart of the ski and across its entire width.
The final product is assembled with a press.
CORNER = core of the ski: wood (solid or with channels) or composite (honeycomb or Nomex®)
BOTTOM = part in contact with the snow, made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), sintered or extruded.
ACCROCHE = retaining zone located under the ski
EDGE LINES = width of a ski in tip, runner and heel.
Payment in 3 instalments is possible from a basket value of CHF 50 and requires the approval of our partner CembraPay. You will be able to choose this method of payment, and consult the terms and conditions and applicable fees when finalizing your order.
