Fischer Transalp CTI

While designed primarily for backcountry touring, the Transalp CTI handles resort terrain quite well. Its stiff flex and stable construction make it capable on groomers, though its 105mm waist and lightweight build are optimized for soft snow and variable off-piste conditions.

The paulownia core keeps the ski lightweight for efficient climbing, but the addition of titanal laminates and carbon stringers provides the necessary torsional rigidity. This combination ensures the ski remains stable and holds an edge securely even when you encounter firm or icy patches.

This ski is built for advanced to expert skiers who prioritize a balance of uphill efficiency and downhill performance. It is best suited for those who spend their time in the backcountry or seeking out deep powder and technical lines, rather than beginners or casual cruisers.

The flat tail provides a longer effective edge, which gives you more power and stability through the end of your turn. This is particularly helpful when you need reliable control on steep, technical terrain or variable snow conditions where a rockered tail might feel loose.

A 105mm waist is a versatile sweet spot for a freeride ski. It provides ample float in deep powder while remaining quick enough edge-to-edge for navigating tight trees or variable backcountry snow, making it a great daily driver for ambitious mountain pursuits.
