Fischer Outback 68 Crown/Skin Xtralite Ski - 2026 Blue, 169cm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I’ve used the Outback 68 on rolling terrain and sidehills, and it’s confidence-inspiring. The patterned base grips reliably without skins on most climbs, and when things get steeper, it’s easy to add skins. The Air Tec core feels light but strong, and those steel edges make all the difference when descending or edging across firm snow.""Who It’s ForBackcountry Nordic Skiers and Adventure Tourers:This ski is built for explorers who want to go beyond groomed tracks. It’s ideal for skiers who like to roam through forests, fields, and rolling backcountry terrain, but still want the control and confidence of steel edges when things get tricky. What It’s ForOff-Track Touring with Grip and Control:The Outback 68 is designed for backcountry touring where mixed snow and changing terrain are the norm. The patterned base provides uphill traction without skins, while XC double camber adds glide and float. Full steel edges ensure security on descents and sidehills. Why We Like ItGrip, Glide, and Edge Control Combined:We like the Outback 68 because it blends the efficiency of a waxless patterned base with the control of a steel-edged touring ski. Lightweight yet stable, it’s equally at home cruising mellow backcountry routes as it is handling firmer snow and rolling hills."
