Nothing | 2027

Fischer takes an interesting approach to marketing this ski, focusing more on the attitude than the specs. This added a touch of mystery, and certainly eliminated any preconceived notions, as we began testing it early last season. After spending significant time on it, we can confidently say it belongs in the powder category, defined by a mid-soft flex and playful but directional shape.

The Nothing shares many of the attributes that made the Fischer Ranger 102 so popular, but pushes that platform into a more powder-focused shape. The ski has a wood core with metal and camber underfoot, combined with rocker in the tip and tail. While the center of the ski feels stout and supportive, the much softer tips and tails release easily, giving the Nothing a looser and more playful personality than its directional shape suggests.

In deep snow, the softer extremities create a surfy, playful feel that enables a more neutral stance while feathering the tails through big pow slashes. When the snow gets tracked out, the ski's directional character takes over, rewarding a more forward stance. The Nothing's shape and strong core shine in these moments, as it wants to hook up and drive through tracked-out pow rather than deflect, enabling the skier to take a more direct approach down the fall line. Overall, the ski best suits aggressive skiers who want a surfy pow ski that they can drive with intention to access real bite and power as conditions begin to firm up.
