The Fischer Pro Mtn 95 Ti is designed to be a super versatile all mountain ski. Its shape is largely inspired by carving skis, although the amount of tip rocker and the 95 mm waist width do set it apart quite significantly from carving specific skis. Fischer’s Air Tec wood core is impressively lightweight and Fischer claims the Pro Mtn 95 Ti is the lightest ski in the segment, which we assume would be other all mountain skis in the 95 mm waist width range. Not many skis can compare with the Pro Mtn 95’s combination of carving performance, light weight, and ease-of-use in a wide range of conditions, and we’d like to specifically note the impressive carving performance for such a versatile ski. Both of our testers on the Pro Mtn 95 skied the 186 cm length.
This is something James Stewart noticed as well, as he thought the Fischer Pro Mtn 95 was “a sleeper in this category.” He described you can just “tip it and rip it” thanks to the easy turn initiation provided by the rocker profile and the torsional stiffness achieved by a wood core, carbon fiber, and full length titanal. James referred to the Pro Mtn 95 as “a powerfull all mountain carver that is easier going than I had anticipated.” He found the performance can be described as “quick edge to edge and holds a turn ‘til the end.” James gave the Pro Mtn 95 a high score for overall impression and seemed to enjoy all of Fischer’s offerings in our ski test. He concluded his reaction to the Pro Mtn 95 by simply saying “Fischer is building some great skis right now.” We certainly don’t disagree, James.
Mike Thomas perhaps has had more experience on the Fischer Pro Mtn 95 than any of our other testers as Mike not only skied it during our test, but was lucky enough to have a pair in his quiver for much of the ski season. Mike spent a lot of time skiing the Pro Mtn 95 at Stowe Mountain Resort this past season and when asked about the ski’s highlight he responded with “versatility.” Mike gave the Pro Mtn 95 high scores for stability, flotation, edge grip, versatility, and overall impression. He described it as having a “carving oriented shape,” and further described it as a “strong carver,” but also noted that it has “plenty of rocker and is easy to pivot and smear.” Mike really enjoyed using the Pro Mtn 95 as his daily driver ski this season. He commented that he “never felt like I was on the wrong ski,” as it can lay down impressively powerful carving turns, but is plenty maneuverable for off-piste terrain like moguls and trees. Mike even commented that they had “enough float for most powder days,” although did admit that they wouldn’t have been enough for “Stella” level storms. Winter Storm Stella dropped 50+ inches on Stowe Mountain Resort in less than 72 hours. For that kind of snow, you want a powder ski.
Overall the Fischer Pro Mtn 95 is a very impressive ski. If Mike’s description sounds like something you’d enjoy you should definitely considering picking up a pair. It has an impressive amount of versatility with carving performance that outshines just about any other potential “one-ski-quiver” from other brands. There is, of course, some personal preference to all of this, so do your best to get on some demos if you find yourself torn between two all mountain skis of similar waist width, performance, etc.
