Product Info
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.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Freeski Rocker – Tip and tail rocker with reduced camber for smooth performance and ease of turning.
Shape
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.
Core
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.
Laminates
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.
Sidewalls
Sandwich Sidewall Construction – Wood core combined with ABS sidewalls in a classic Sandwich Construction for balanced flex and perfect rebound.
Base
Sintered Graphite Base
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

All-Mountain, Big Mountain

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Turning Radius
Medium 17-22 m radius is best for all-mountain and park & pipe.

Tail Type:
Flat
More
Tail Type
Flat This is your traditional tail, designed to have edge contact all the way through the tail, and only designed for skiing forward. This is also preferred for alpine touring, as you can stick the tails of your skis in the snow.
