Fischer My Ranger 102 FR

Size tested: 168
Design: All New
Fischer is one of the manufacturers taking a deeper look at its women's skis, making it clear that it is paying attention to us. The My Ranger 102 FR is a new addition to the lineup, which previously had stopped at the My Ranger 98. Next season's lineup will include a My Ranger 96 Ti and 90 Ti, both with metal, but the My Ranger 102 FR is the same construction as the men's Ranger 102 FR, which has no metal but does incorporate a carbon nose and free ski rocker to make it a stable, playful, fun experience.
With this ski season's big snow, I've had no shortage of good conditions to ski on wider skis, and fortunately this particular ski was in my arsenal when I was skiing at Alta on a surprise powder day. It delivered some serious fun. I followed the guys through steeps and moguls for the better part of the day and never found a moment when this ski let me down. When it was time to slow it down at the end of the day, the My Ranger 102 FR was stable while skiing groomers (which weren't really groomers) back to the lodge.
This is a great addition to Fischer's freeride line-up, a ski that will make an advanced female skier say, "My oh My!"

- Who is it for? An advanced female looking for a One Oh Something that is nimble and playful.
- Who is it not for? Someone looking to stay on piste.
- Insider tip: If you're looking for a longer length, look at the men's side of the wall; if you're a guy looking for a shorter length, don't be afraid to try this ski.
