Fischer Ranger 116 Big Stix Ski - 2026 Olive, 187cm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I took the Ranger 116 Big Stix out on a storm day and immediately trusted how solid it felt underfoot. The titanal layer gave me confidence off cliffs and in chopped-up snow, while the rocker profile kept things loose and pivoty in trees. It’s a big ski, but it never felt sluggish—just stable, playful, and reliable when it mattered most.""Who It’s ForAdvanced to Expert Freeriders:This ski is made for aggressive skiers who thrive in powder and variable big-mountain terrain. If you’re charging lines, sending drops, or slashing through trees, the Ranger 116 Big Stix rewards strong technique and a confident style. What It’s ForDeep Powder and Big-Mountain Lines:With a 116mm waist and rocker/camber/rocker profile, this ski is tuned for float and stability in the steep and deep. It’s quick enough to pivot in tight chutes but shines when the mountain opens up with big powder fields and cliffy playgrounds. Why We Like ItFloat, Stability, and Trust in Any Condition:We like the Ranger 116 Big Stix because it delivers both playful float and serious stability. The beech and poplar core balances dampness with pop, the titanal laminate gives edge power and durability, and the partial twin tail allows a touch of creativity. It’s a dependable freeride tool that still feels fun when the powder is chopped up."
