2015 Fischer E-109 Tour Easy-Skin
Dawn.
Twelve inches of fresh cold powder on top of 2 feet of condensed frozen base.
-15C, brilliant clear sky- not a breath of wind.
Kick wax- MAN.
Flying through a snow-covered canopy. EPIC.
Specs of my new love:
- 205cm length.
- Sidecut profile: 82-60-70mm.
- Camber profile: significant, but soft initial camber- low but very stiff second camber.
- Nordic rocker: the tips open up significantly when the camber is fully compressed.
- Flex pattern: moderately stiff. Smooth, soft, round initial flex pattern from point of “Nordic rocker” to tail. “Wax” or traction pocket is somewhat preserved by shallow, stiff, second camber.
- Low profile tip.
- Flat tail.
- Full length, but not wrap-around, metal edge.
- High-quality, sintered base.
Grip wax in the backcountry- on a ski designed for XCD skiing on fresh soft snow- WICKED.
Supposed to remove the grip wax before applying the “Easy”-skin. Not going to use it much.
Improvements?
- Broad, raised tip.
- Less sidecut.
