RC4 The Curv GT

The Curv GT is a Technical ski that begs to be laid over at a 45o angle, a posture the average skier can’t even accidentally achieve. But for the carving cognoscenti who know how to commit to every turn, The Curv GT is a dream, with a particular talent for short turns with a slingshot finish. “Powerful, wonderfully lively, with great rebound,” writes one tester who gets what the Curv GT is all about. “Go all in and it goes all in with you.” If you need additional motivation to acquire this impeccable carving machine, Fischer has carved $100 off the Curv GT’s MSRP, bringing it down to $999, with binding.

RC4 The Curv DTX

Built for high speed at high edge angles, The Curv DTX deploys a triple radius sidecut to accentuate turn entry and exit. This makes it exceptionally agile for such a strong, stable ski. While it’s unabashedly made for experts, The Curv DTX lacks the imposing Booster plate that adorns its stablemate and so is a bit easier to bend at subsonic speeds. The elimination of the Booster plate also opens up the versatility of the ski regarding turn shape and skier style. The Booster all but requires the skier to go all-in on every arc; without it, The Curv DTX feels more playful and willing to carve from a more upright stance.

Ranger 90 Ti

One of the lightest men’s skis in the All-Mountain East genre, the Ranger 90 Ti makes every effort to trim away extra g’s. The Air Tec Ti wood core mills away sections in an offset pattern that retains strength with less material. You’d expect the Ti suffix to suggest...

Ranger 98 Ti

Don’t let the “Ti” in the Ranger 98 Ti hypnotize you into thinking this will be another Austrian World Cup ski blown up to dirigible dimensions. It’s almost the opposite scenario: a decidedly buttery knife that uses but a slip of metal underfoot and is responsive to...
