Fischer maintains that your skis don’t know your gender, and our ladies’ limited experience with the RC One 82 GT WS (for Women’s Series) tends to support this contention. Both Clare Martin from Peter Glenn and Lara Hughes Allen from the Mt. Rose Ski School raved about it, despite having very different ski bios. For Clare, who works retail in the southeast, the RC One 82 GT was a huge step up from her norm, liberating her to make turns for the first time that the Level-3 Lara could make in her sleep. Their verbatim reports indicate just how large a slice of the women’s ski population the RC One 82 GT might serve. (Note the humongous size range).
Lara Hughes Allen wrote, “This ski skied like a very tuned-down GS ski. It held the turn well, even on very firm conditions. This ski felt versatile in a variety of turn shapes and sizes as well as snow conditions. Its stiffness and edging mean that it will run away with you a bit if you’re not balanced and dynamic over the ski.”
Clare Martin confessed, “This is the ski I’m missing from my quiver! This ski articulated the difference of a carving ski from an off-piste ski. It gave me the courage to rip (well ripping for me may be more like 30 mph), while holding an edge on all morning snow types. The stability behind my boot was none like I have felt before – now I know what finishing a turn SHOULD feel like. I felt like this ski had my back, if I started to question my capabilities. Wish I could have taken this one home with me!”
