Fischer puts all its top-shelf technology into the new Ranger 115 XTi: Air Tec Ti, an intricately milled-out wood core with Titanium reinforcement; Carbon Nose, a carbon fiber weave up front that lessens swingweight; and Aeroshape, the dome-shaped top that helps the ski slash sideways in deep snow. Despite all the weight-saving tech, the Ranger XTi remains a granite-solid ski predisposed to big turns, behaving like a GS ski on PED’s.
Out in the wide-open spaces where it’s able to roam, the Ranger 115 XTi shows what it’s made of, motoring through new snow with authority. The midsection of the ski is especially secure, with softer extremities that instinctively adapt to ever-changing off-trail conditions. Not for the faint of heart or the insufficiently skilled, the Ranger 115 XTi is tuned to the talents of technical skiers.
