Fischer Ranger 116 | 2024

Fischer is throwing out some big stick energy with the Ranger 116. Unchanged since the brand completely overhauled the Ranger line in 2023 with its robust lineup of freeride athletes, the Ranger 116 lands on the pages of our Buyer’s Guide with the same love and praise as last year. The stability of the 116 never wanes thanks to its poplar and beech wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. You can throw these dogs around no matter the conditions and never hear them bark in protest. Strategically shaped Titanal and a freeski-inspired rocker profile give the Ranger 116-premium control in deep powder and cat-like agility in all terrain. Tester Mike Filander describes this ski as “a hard-charging machine,” and his counterpart, Michelle Cox, couldn’t agree more. “This is a do-it-all ski. Stable at high speeds and easy to maneuver.”
