BOOTS FOR BIG FOOT Performance boots and wide feet used to be mutually exclusive. Higher-flexing boots typically were only available in skinny lasts.

With the Podium GT, Fischer eliminates the … More »
Ski Canada Test 2019 On-Slope Reviews THE WIDER SISTER Fischer is giving women a little more girth…in their skis. Its all-mountain My Pro Mt family topped out at 84mm last year.

Ski Canada Test 2019 On-Slope Reviews AN ENIGMA It’s hard to categorize the Fischer Pro Mt 77 Ti. It’s part of Fischer’s all-mountain ski line, combining a wood core with weight-saving carbon.
