Re: Fischer SBound 88

For anyone still reading 🙂, my sbound 88s do not have easy skin attachment. They are 68 mm under foot. I found some black diamond kicker skins at 65 mm. I think this is the best size. Any feedback appreciated!

Re: They're Back

I am suffering from analysis paralysis here in Central Oregon. I skate ski and have some old 60 mm Alpina touring skis (rarely use!) and want to get some backcountry touring skis. This is a new venture and can’t decide between the 78s or the 88s. At 140lbs before gear/pack, I think I need 179cm. I w...

Re: Alpina Discovery 80 sizing

Thanks for your feedback! I am in the PNW, and turning is a significant consideration. The Fischer Excurssion 88 at 169 cm is at the top if my list. Hoping to find an older year model but may have to buy new.

I am a newer touring skier, but am a decent skate skier and have some alpine experience. I intend to use on gentle backcountry terrain...
