"A Nice Overall Compromise for a Backcountry Ski" - Review of Fischer Outtabounds Crown Ski

The Outtabounds has great glide on the flats, and turns reasonably well on moderate terrain. Uphill grip can be weak though on firm snow, especially if you fall toward the bottom of the weight range for your ski length, so pick your priorities before you pick your ski length. (And choose the Rebound if you want more touring performance or the Boundless if you want more turning performance.) Overall though, Fischer is definitely leading the field in waxless turn-oriented backcountry skis, with Atomic and Salomon producing what appear to be close imitations of the Fischer SBounds line.
