Fischer Superlite Wax

These are excellent for beginners and intermediate skiers alike. The softer flex and wider sidecut make them much more forgiving and stable than high-performance race skis, allowing you to focus on your technique rather than fighting for balance.

You will need to apply glide wax to the tips and tails and kick wax to the center pocket before each outing. If you aren't comfortable with the waxing process, you might prefer a 'skin' or 'fishscale' ski, but the waxable base on the Superlite offers a superior, smoother glide that is worth the extra effort.

No, bindings are not included with this purchase. Because these skis feature an NIS binding system, you will need to purchase compatible NIS bindings separately, which slide onto the pre-mounted plate without the need for drilling.

The shorter length is primarily designed to improve maneuverability, making it easier to navigate tight turns and corners on groomed trails. While you lose a tiny bit of glide efficiency compared to a longer ski, the trade-off for better control is usually preferred by recreational skiers.

These are classic touring skis designed specifically for groomed tracks. While they are stable enough for light, packed snow, they are not intended for deep backcountry powder or ungroomed, rugged terrain.
