Moderately aggressive female skier from an on-again-off-again racing background, enjoys trying to make pretty turns no matter what conditions or terrain the ice coast throws at her, isn't always successful.

Did this length feel short, long, or just right? Would you recommend sizing up or down, or does it ski "true to size?" Would you choose this length for yourself?

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

For how wide these are, they performed pretty well on an icy Nosedive. They took a few turns to be able to properly get up on edge but held pretty well once up there and were very good during the transition. They could definitely go fast! Also very easy to drive.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

Bummed that I only got to try on a groomer, which they were adequate on except for the first few S turns where they were slidey (as expected). I think they’re probably fun in moguls and trees as they weren’t super stiff or demanding, could see them softening.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

Pretty approachable and accessible, quite versatile for a powder ski, something many ability levels could work with and continue to enjoy as they progress.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

Loved them!

Soft snow, powder, bumps and groomers that are carveable!

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

I loved this ski. It felt playful and capable, and even though it chattered a bit on icy hardpack, that clearly isn’t what it was designed for.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

This ski excels in bumps and trees but can hold up to frontside skiing at slower speeds.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

This is a great ski for advanced to expert skiers. It suits someone who spends time in bumps, trees, and mixed snow rather than groomers.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

It is a super snappy, fun and soft ski.

Would describe myself as a freecarver (Freeride skier at heart with a love for carving). Any excuse to go drops, cliffs, jumps, spins, etc., I will take. But also very much enjoy pure carving on skis that many would consider far too wide to carve on.

Very versatile all-mountain freeride ski! Great in soft snow and on trail, so I see why so many people have them. I did find that the ski hinged where the metal stops, so the flex isn't the most consistent. But otherwise super versatile and easy to use where ever you are on the mountain. Pretty darn surfy too!

All-mountain freeride in a nutshell.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

I've always enjoyed skiing the Ranger 102. It's relatively strong and quiet, but it's also quick and agile, especially in the 176 cm length. Feels great maneuvering through bumps and trees, but then you can let it run without it getting too twitchy or without it getting deflected. I've always thought they carve well too, although having talked to a lot of other people at this point, I also understand that not everyone agrees. I think bigger skiers push through the shovel a bit, while for me, that shovel helps with initiation and brings you into a nice, round turn very smoothly.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

It's a great ski for someone who wants to do a bit of everything. Narrow enough and with enough torsional stiffness that it works on groomers, but then the width and shape gives you a lot of capability when taking it off trail.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

It's relatively approachable considering it's 102 underfoot and has some metal, but it's still probably a bit much for an intermediate. The sweet spot feels like advanced skiers and expert skiers who aren't huge.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

I like the nod to the old Ranger 102 FR with some hits of pink on the purple graphic.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

I really enjoyed this ski for the type of skiing I do most often. The Ranger is a great Freeride ski with a forgiving nature that allows a variety of turn shapes at both the high end of performance and at a more mellow pace. The ski feels nice and strong enough to power through turns and blast through variable snow.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

Freeride terrain through and through! Steeps and double fall line feel right at home on this ski.

High level intermediate to expert.

This was not my ski. It felt very planky and dead to me, which was surprising for a wood only ski (well metal underfoot). It felt a lot wider than it really was, which I think was a result of how slow it felt edge to edge. It also skied heavy. Not sure if it’s actually heavy but felt that way!

Appropriate Terrain

This would be a good choice for someone who likes a very damp, predictable ski. It busted through variable snow pretty well.

Appropriate Skier

I’d say this is better for an advanced skier as it did require a fair bit of driving. Was more demanding than I thought it would be.

Other Thoughts

Well I’d give it more energy, and also it’s really not a great color…khaki? Tan? Pass.

You can really feel how much tip rocker it has. This makes it easy to maneuver. On groomed terrain it doesn’t seem like sidecut and the camber are in tune with each other so the tip feels really floppy.

Definitely a soft snow ski. Trees/powder is the forte. Can be really fun in any kind of soft snow.

Appropriate Skier

Accessible to an intermediate skier.

Other Thoughts

I’d like it to feel more Austrian with a lively exciting core, this ski feels a bit dead compared to previous Fischer or compared to the Curv skis. Massage the shape and camber so they blend together better.

I found the ski to be very playful, fast and responsive when skiing soft bumps. I didn't find it very edgeable on-piste and felt like it struggled when pushed hard.

Appropriate Terrain

I'd recommend this ski for someone consistently skiing on softer snow conditions and wanting to float between the trees and trails.

Appropriate Skier

Advanced all mountain skiers. Skiers who are comfortable in the woods or ripping groomers on a pow day will love these skis. It might be more of a challenge for intermediate skiers on-piste as you need to push hard to carve.

Other Thoughts

Increased stiffness to allow for more stability on groomers.

They almost feel like they're asleep with how damp they are. I felt like I was pushing pretty hard into them and instead of pushing back they absorbed it and gave little to no feedback. They were stable on edge but it was difficulty to figure out the release point in a turn since you can't tell how under load the ski is. Not really a ski for me.
