I need some XC ski advice. I have done a little research and talked to AI a bit but I need real human feedback.

I am currently rocking a beat up marketplace find that beats walking but from using them every other day I can tell they are not optimal.

I am looking for a pair of classic skis for staying on the machined track. I am 200cm and 110kg. The weather fluctuates between -40 and -6 celcius where I live so I am thinking I should do fish scales or skins? My boots are NNN.

>fish scales or skins?
if you are using classic kick and glide on groomed trails you will not needs skins (do they even use skins on classic skis?) I think what you are asking is wax or scales? Depends on how important speed is to you. A good wax/appropriate for the temp will be much faster than scales but scales are very accomodating and good enough for most folks.
