Fischer

Ranger 115 XTi Ski

The Ranger 115 XTi Ski is Fischer's fattest, heaviest plank that absolutely dominates big mountains and heavy powder. Two layers of free-milled titanium help the ski charge through powder like it were a skinny racer on groomers, and an additional layer of carbon maintains stiffness to reduce vibrations at those high speeds. Rockers at tip and tail ease turn initiation when you're lining up the beginning of a powdery pillow line, and there's enough camber underfoot to bounce in and out of turns while cruising down large, steep, untouched aprons.

Fischer made the wood core out of a combination of poppy poplar and stiff beech, resulting in a ski that's as playful as it is powerful. ABS sidewalls sandwich the wood core to keep the ski strong for seasons. Despite the vertical sidewalls, the Ranger still styles an aeroshape for extreme torsion stability under mach speeds.
