TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
1 - The 150 classic cross-country SKIN ski – the ski for beginners!
You’re a beginner and want to discover classic cross-country skiing, mostly for recreation: walk/glide to observe nature and recharge your batteries without making too much of a physical effort?
So, the 150 skin ski is perfectly suited to your needs.
It’s a wide, stable, manoeuvrable ski with good grip for easily learning and discovering the joys of classic cross-country skiing!
2 - Choosing the right SIZE
The size of a cross-country ski is chosen according to your level of ability and weight rather than your height.
For 150 skin skis:
- 50 to 60 kg => 182 or 185 cm
- 60 to 75 kg => 192 or 195 cm
- 80 to 95 kg => 200 or 202 cm
- more than 90 kg = 205 or 207 cm
If you’re between two sizes:
- For more comfort, choose the lower size to ensure the ski is more manoeuvrable.
- For more intensive use = choose the larger size.
3 - SKI SKIN grip – simple!
The grip of a cross-country ski corresponds to the area located in the centre of the base (underside of the ski).
This provides the "grip" needed to avoid slipping in uphill sections while delivering smooth glide performance on flat or descending terrain.There are 3 systems:fish scales, grip wax or skins.
The 150 ski is equipped with a mixed skin grip.
The ski skins provide the same quality of grip as fish scale bases but they have the advantage of not making any noise and not requiring waxing!
Changing your skins
If your ski touring skins are worn, change them...
We recommend you contact the workshop to order and get them changed
Ski size 185/195 CM => reference code pair of Skins = 4239127
Ski size 200/205 CM => reference code pair of Skins = 4239128
4 - BASIC auto bindings – simplicity at the ends of your feet!
All our skis are sold with Rottefella bindings that are compatible with the NNN, Prolink and Turnamic standards.
150 skin skis are equipped with Rottefella BASIC AUTO bindings – perfect for beginner skiers.
It’s easy to use thanks to its "step-in" function that allows you to automatically get your skis on by simply pressing down at the forefoot, and remove your skis by pressing the button at the front using the tip of your cross-country ski pole.
5 – Waxing, the secret of longevity
When buying skis, we recommend that you prepare the base well to achieve an optimum glide. Several consecutive waxings are best to "nourish" the base properly.
To maintain the performance of your skis, don't forget to wax them regularly!
To wax your skis, check out our tutorials on our Inovik YouTube channel or book an appointment in your Decathlon workshop.

The final product is assembled with a press.

BASE = Part in contact with snow: it is made of sintered or extruded high density polyethylene (HDPE).
