For skiers looking for the maximum amounts of adventure and fun, the Fischer S-Bound 98 skis with bindings are a fantastic choice. These skis, when combined with the width and shape, will take you pretty darn far into the backcountry with confidence and style. At 98 mm in the shovel, these skis will allow you to break trail and get deeper into the woods than you ever thought possible. There’s just something so serene and peaceful about being in the woods in the winter, and these skis make it easy and fun to access all the silence and scenery that’s just waiting for you to access. With full steel edges and a decent sidecut, you’ll even be able to make some good turns for when the going gets sketchy or deep. Fischer makes all of their skis with wood cores, and these are no different. They do include an air channel in order to keep the weight to a minimum. The 179 cm length weighs in at 2200 grams per pair, so they’re easy and simple to get up to the top of distant peaks or long-range valleys. Built with an offtrack crown, you also have the option to upgrade the grip to an EZ skin or a Super Skin. Really any skin with a tip loop will do, but it’s nice to have matching things. When combined with the BC bindings, you’re going to have a good amount of control and precision for when the going gets tricky, and that’s always a good thing when you’re out in the middle of the woods.
