A foot of fresh powder, breakable crust, 1,200 metres of climbing—it didn’t matter what conditions we encountered on the Transalp, this ski always felt like the right board for the job. Fischer inserted Titanium—odd for a touring ski—amid the carbon and paulownia wood. This shaped piece of metal added stability and power, which came in handy when conditions were less than ideal, or when we wanted to charge. We could dig into ice with confidence and still smear to stay on top of a crust. Best of all, the thin sheets of metal didn’t weigh the ski down. The Transalp felt efficient on long days in the skin track. Light but highly turnable, the Transalp is a skier’s touring ski.
