Fischer completely overhauled its Ranger line last year with the help of its robust team of freeride athletes, including the late and incredibly great Kyle Smaine. For 23/24 the Ranger line remains unchanged from its improvements, and our testers couldn’t be more smitten. “The Rangers ski skinnier than they are and felt super easy to get on edge,” says tester Jenna Mahaffie. “Really stable at speed, solid transition to hardpack, these skis made me feel fast, confident and extraordinarily good-looking.” The 109-mm waist is plenty wide for most days out west, and the strategically placed Titanal covers the binding area and extends just slightly toward the tip and tail for stability at speed while maintaining a more playful feel than its skinnier siblings. For the adventurous freeriders looking for a ski that never compromises, you may have found your soul ski in the Ranger 108.
