2027 Ski Test Behind the Scenes: 2027 Fischer The Curv Noize GT 85

Rock solid and ready to rip, the Fischer Curv Noize GT 85 is an updated ski for 2027, but still has a lot of last year’s Curv GT 85 notes to it. The addition of Fischer’s Noize control technology seems to make a big difference here—it's one of those things that’s listed in the catalog, but really comes to life on snow. Built with a beech and poplar wood core, the skis also get Noize Control, which Fischer defines as an “incorporation of metal pigments in a specially engineered pattern along the ski” which contributes to a smooth and predictable feel. Fischer also uses their diagowrap in this ski which uses carbon stringers weaved into the fiberglass layers that surround the wood core. This adds power and energy to the 85. Not only that, but Fischer uses one layer of .8 mm titanal and one .5 layer, so there’s a lot of metal in these skis as well. At 85 mm underfoot and with a 15-meter turn radius in the 175 cm length, these skis rip carved turns with basically no chatter. They’re stiff, solid, and incredibly planted in the snow.

We found that this technology comes to life when you put skis to snow. They deliver endless edge grip and fantastic energy. For a ski to be this damp yet provide excellent rebound is a feat. You can be as strong or aggressive as you want to on this ski; it’ll handle a whole lot of power. The conditions during our test were challenging at best. With some granular snow on top of absolute boilerplate, it’s tough to ski anything that you don’t feel confident on. The Curv GT 85 was an ideal ski for these conditions as it made the mountain feel a lot softer than the sounds that were coming from underfoot. As long as you’re confident and balanced on these skis, they’ll hold up to a very icy base. While narrower skis will generate more torsional stiffness, it didn’t feel like these lacked in any carving category—they are impressive on-piste skis and that wider shape overall does have a usefulness when the conditions degrade throughout the day. While bumps, trees, or off-piste skiing is a bit of a challenge, the limitations when it comes to carving are few and very far between.
