The Fischer Transalp 98 CTI Ski is an ideal balance between uphill and downhill performance, with preference given to skiing over climbing. That's not to say these boards lack climbing performance, however. The Transalp's lightweight construction features Air Tec with a paulownia wood core and carbon fiber to make your time going uphill easier. Shaped Ti 0.5 titanal inlay boosts stability in key zones and provides damping for increased control. The 98mm waist, wide shovels, and Tour Rocker help keep you afloat in fresh snow. And, the rounded, gentle taper in the tips and tails helps with turn initiation and release. A minimal sidecut produces a long turn radius that's great for making long, sweeping turns down whatever face you just worked so hard to ski. Earn your turns and relish them with the Fischer Transalp 98 CTI Ski.
