This all mountain women’s ski from Fischer is a solid, wood-core, but light model that would suit recreational to advanced skiers.

It’s made to ski the whole mountain and does a pretty good job in providing versatility in most conditions. It does seem to handle both piste and powder snow equally well, with our testers giving very consistent results on groomed snow and variable conditions.

The all mountain tip rocker makes turn initiation easy on-piste and helps the tips to stay afloat in deeper snow. They might be well built but they remain light, meaning they’re responsive and handle short turns well.

A good, versatile women’s specific ski that will do the job, whatever’s thrown in front of you.
