A serious pair of GS rockets for the club racer, ski instructor or speed freak. With a 25 m radius for girls or 27 for men this is a FIS reg ski with the performance one would expect. Sidewall construction, metal race plate, two choices of bindings, a 192 length for the competitive [...]

Almost identical to the SX 12, you get the same profile but not the Power Bridge under th binding. If you prefer a lighter or easier flexing ski that is more forgiving in varied terrain then try the 11’s - if you enjoy a solid ride and tenacious contact with the hardest of [...]

Almost identical to the GS 11 but somewhat tamer flex - the profiles are mirrored throughout the size range. For the advanced skier rather than expert the GS 10 is much more forgiving, as they will also prove for lighter skiers. Check out the review for the GS 11 for further details.

The WC RC is a top-end retail race ski with club racers, expert skiers and instructors in mind. With an over-sized side-cut, generous carves and an easy initiation into your turns the WC RC’s relatively easy to handle. Probably a little more solid than the expectations of many a non-race experienced expert [...]

Many ski instructors love this ski, not particularly for [...]

Hmmmm, tasty. Eyeing up the racers feast that is the new GS Loch ski from Fischer is not like being hungry and desiring some pie-filler. No the WC GS Loch (or “hole” in English) is to a ski racer what a three-starred Michelin restaurant is to the gastronaut. This is [...]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Stunning performance, smoothness, control, power and stability. In the 193 length this is a serious pair of World Cup skis and not for anyone who isn’t racing on a full-time basis. The shorter lengths are very different skis, the 188’s are still extremely powerful and super-solid underfoot, and [...]
