Skin skis continue to gain popularity for good reason. What’s not to like about a ski that can approach the fun of a properly grip waxed race ski but without the fuss and frustration that can come along with grip waxing?
Problem is, the performance of skin skis is often still highly variable. Different snow conditions are an issue to be sure, but the camber and wax pocket shape that is the most adaptable is not necessarily the same as a waxable classic.
And then there is the Fischer 902 camber concept. Already established undeniably as the most versatile classic ski of all time (no, not hyperbole!), it turned out to have all the characteristics that make a skin ski work in the widest and most variable snow conditions.
Fischer’s Speedmax 80 TwinSkin is their most affordable skin ski that utilizes the 902 camber, and we think it one of the best price/performance values on the market.
Please inquire about your needs, these skis need to be carefully selected for best performance.
