Fischer Watea 101 Alpine Ski

5 Star Rating

Super versatile fat

By Backcountry.com Employee October 3, 2006

I've got last year's model, which is the same as this year's - but I like the black topsheet this year better. It's not the biggest gun in my quiver, but this thing can handle 99% of what I want to do on the mountain. Moderately softish flex, such that it can handle speed but also turn easily through the trees and tighter spots. Basically this is an incredibly versatile, easy-to-ski ride in something as fat and long as its dimensions. Fischer doesn't market their equipment well and this is definitely one of the least-known ripping skis out there - if it had the marketing backing of say Rossi or K2, you'd see these all over the hill guaranteed.
