Fischer Traverse Crown Xtralite

While they are designed primarily for off-track and backcountry exploration, their wider profile and steel edges make them capable on varied terrain. However, they are wider than standard cross-country skis, so they may feel less efficient on narrow, groomed tracks.

No, these skis feature the Offtrack Crown climbing system, which is a mechanical pattern built into the base to provide grip. You do not need to apply kick wax to this section, though you should still glide wax the tip and tail for optimal performance.

Yes, the Traverse Crown Xtralite is fully compatible with supplemental climbing skins. This is a great feature if you plan on tackling steeper ascents where the base pattern alone might not provide enough traction.

The Air Tec core uses air channels within the wood to reduce overall weight without sacrificing durability. This makes the ski significantly easier to maneuver and less fatiguing during long tours in deep or untracked snow.

Full-length steel edges provide essential bite and control when you encounter icy patches or firmer, wind-packed snow in the backcountry. They offer the confidence you need to navigate challenging, variable conditions that plastic-edged skis simply cannot handle.

The Nordic Rocker slightly lifts the tips of the skis, which helps them float better in soft snow and makes initiating turns much smoother. It essentially makes the ski more forgiving and easier to handle when you are breaking your own trail.
