Founded in 1924, Fischer is an Austrian brand that is a world leader in both alpine and Nordic skiing. In recent years, Fischer has been focusing on freeride lines and strengthening its lineup, and this is an honest review by an average skier of this season's featured skis.
RANGER 96 review
Each model is equipped with "Shaped Titanium" of different lengths and depths, making these freeride models both maneuverable and stable. They maintain high stability and are easy to control in any condition
High running ability:
It seems like it can run steadily even on rough terrain. It is a bit stiff for women, so leg strength is required.

The now-on-sale "STEEP SKI BOOK 2025" features reviews from 106 people, including professional and amateur skiers!
This impression project was participated in by 106 skiers, from riders receiving support to the general public. Find the skis you've been interested in and explore the sensory aspects that can't be measured by specs alone. We also tracked detailed information about the test riders, such as what gear they usually use, where they ski, and their height, weight, and physique. Reading the impressions with that information in mind should give you a clearer picture. Furthermore, if you're a skier, you can watch the skiers ski downhill on Instagram or YouTube. Gather information from multiple angles and have fun agonizing over the process to choose the best skis
