Hi everyone, i am in need of your help and clarification of the practical differences between the above mentioned Fischer skis, the SL FIS and non-FIS takedown SC version.
I am already well aware that FIS ski is full race ski - the real World Cup deal, and SC the takedown version but i would greatly appreciate if you as experts could help me to determine which one is better for me and my needs.
I will describe my skill in short.
Male, 34yrs, 6.2ft, 210lbs. Advanced level skier, skiing red/black slopes on Atomic GS9 M - 160cm (14m radi, race takedown model like Fischer SC), and off piste blacks or whatever pow i find on Nordica Enforcer 100 - 185cm.
Since those Atomic GS9 are very very very old (did i said ancient? ) and too short for my w/h, for this season i have decided to buy a good SL ski to charge groomers and frontside.
The transition from GS to SL is due to my affection for short turns. The race ski because i want to improve as a skier and i like to charge fast. The length i consider appropriate for SC is 170cm - correct me if i am wrong, and for SL 165cm.
To sum up - Since i am not an expert skier, and i still need some work on my technique, would the FIS version as full race model would be too aggressive, non-forgiving and demanding for me and on the other hand do you consider SC iteration as too soft, recreational and touristy.
To conclude - I need the ski which is lively and have strong edge grip, stability while skiing fast and angled, but to be able to forgive an occasional mistake now and than, while allowing me to progress from advanced to expert level and enjoying the process.
p.s.
If anyone want to recommend some other model from different manufacturer that see more fit for my needs, please feel free
Thank you for your time and support,
Mihailo
