Description

One of our favorites from this spring’s demo sessions, the Fischer Ranger 98 Ti Skis are an all-mountain ride that simply do everything well. Fischer is aiming squarely at sidecountry users with the Ranger series, and they seem to have nailed it with this ski. The Ranger 98 Ti is light but precise, initiates without hesitation, and has a cleanly attractive graphic scheme. The edgehold is excellent on harder snow, which is a bonus – the ski is clearly designed with variable soft snow in mind. Light and nimble feeling on your feet, this will be super tree ski in a foot or less of fresh.

Freeski Rocker – Tip and tail rocker with reduced camber for smooth performance and ease of turning.
Tapered Tip and Tail
Aeroshape – The topsheet of the ski forms a broad sphere, leaving the ski thickness normal in the center but radically reduced at the edges in the tip and tail. This shape not only reduces mass, but increases torsional strength and leaves a streamlined side profile in soft snow.
Beech and Poplar Woodcore
Air Tec Ti Wood Core – Fischer brings their patented Nordic technology to alpine skis in this elaborate, offset milling structure which reduces core weight by 25% without affecting flex or torsion.
Titanal Shell – A curved shell of Titanal metal wraps the top surface of the milled Air Tech Ti core.
Carbon Nose – Visually striking use of lightweight carbon laminate in the nose of the ski allows the ski tip to be extremely thin and lowers vibrating mass at speed.
Sandwich Sidewall Construction – Wood core combined with ABS sidewalls in a classic Sandwich Construction for balanced flex and perfect rebound.
Sintered Graphite Base
