It handles like a slalom ski and is perfect for short snappy turns on groomed runs thanks to the Bafatex tip and tail which reduce swing weight. The Turn Zone rocker makes the ski super smooth in and out of a turn. A lot of our testers underestimated this ski and came back with big grins on their faces thanks to its impressive top end performance, Fischer always seem to make incredible value for money skis and The RC One 73 is no exception.

It?s a perfect choice for the sportier piste skier. The 74mm waist is a good mix of agility and stability to cope with most conditions you?ll find on the marked runs. The multi radius sidecut and Bafatex tip and tail make them feel quick to initiate the turn but also smooth and easy to handle through to the end. They make perfecting your carving technique fun and are more than capable if you want to pick up the speed and push them.

The RC One 82 GT feels solid and cruisy all day long whilst smoothing out the roughest conditions on the slope. Bafatex adds strength and reduces swing weight in the tip and tail to keep the handling lively and the skis manoeuvrable. The Shaped Ti laminate removes unnecessary weight and also makes sure unwanted vibrations are kept to a minimum for maximum grip.

It was a favourite for the last two years and this year it's just as good! The 86mm waist and solid construction give ample float and stability for charging around in choppy terrain or slicing carves into the corduroy. The inclusion of carbon in the tip and tail ensures maximum edge hold on piste, and the clever use of Air Tec Ti makes this amongst the lightest skis in its category without losing top end performance.

Sporty skiers wanting piste performance should be heading straight to the Progressor F17. The narrow waist makes it fast edge-to-edge and the dual radius sidecut provides quick turns without affecting the sense of balance. Razorshape construction keeps the weight down and precision up; the Powerrail binding system ensures a smooth energy distribution. This has the feeling of a race ski without any of the hassle and we enjoyed its easy fun character.

The Progressor F18 is an incredibly lively, responsive and light piste ski that seems to turn in the blink of an eye and just loves to hold an edge and ride a clean carve. The Dual Radius System uses a tighter radius at the tip for easy turn initiation and a longer radius underfoot for better balance, this works in harmony with the tip rocker and camber. Lightness comes from the Air Tec milling out specific areas of the core and the Carbon Tex fibres that add strength with no excess weight.

Some interesting tech and shaping make this a must for anyone wanting to hone their carving skills. Razor Shape keeps the weight concentrated in the centre of the skis so they roll effortlessly edge to edge. Air Tec keeps the weight down so they are agile and easy to steer. It's a light weight piste offering that encourages progression and has a huge fun factor.

Fischer may not be first on peoples list, but boy do they know how to make good skis. The My Mtn 84 is just one example of this. The Air Tec core has lots of small channels that reduce weight so you'll never be bogged down by cumbersome skis. The shape perfectly fuses on piste handling with soft snow ability and the moderate tip profile promotes effortless turning and ease of use for good skiers that want versatility and performance.

Fischer have thrown everything they've got to make the Pro Mtn 80 Ti stand out, and it has worked. Razorshape keeps the mass of the ski in the centre to make it quick edge-to-edge. Carbon tip & tail paired with Air Tec Ti keeps the weight down and performance up. Adding a decent amount of rocker nicely rounds the ski off for a user-friendly feel and impressive all condition handling.

This was another stand out ski in our testing. Its 86mm waist and solid construction gave ample float and stability for charging around in choppy terrain or slicing carves into the corduroy; we were all quickly talking about how good this ski was.
