Ski Diva Extraordinaire
I finally have my new Fischer Vision 70 and thought it was time to share. This ski is AWESOME. I fell in love with it the first time I demoed it. I demoed it on a whim, my husband and I were bored so we went in to our ski area's little demo center and each got a pair of skis to try. I took the Vision 70 because it was so short a 146cm with 10 meter radius, my husband wanted to see if I could do circles on them. I was not expecting to fall in love with this ski.
My ski backround: I have been a ski instructor for 25 years and I demand a lot from my skis. I like a good snappy lively slalom ski that is also well behaved. I guess I would have to say I like my skis like I like my horses, well trained, well behaved, and very hot at the same time.
Demo day one: Conditions were nice groomed powder. I was impressed, they were very easy to turn, smooth, and stable even though they were short for me. After I returned them I could not get them out of my head so I tried them again.
Demo Day 2: Conditions, it was 2 days after the big Nor'Easter at night and all the powder was beaten up. This ski did not fail me again. It loved the beaten up powder. Again it turned very easliy and was so smooth even in the rough conditions. I skied it for 2 hours and was never tired. I was hooked and had to buy them. I bought them in a 152cm with an 11 meter radius.
Day 3 on the new 152cm: All you East coast divas you will know these conditions. Conditions for my new skis: Solid Bullet Proof Ice, what I like to call, "GOOD EASTERN HARD PACK"!! The kind you get when it is 40 and sunny during the day an drops to 20 at night. I skied at night. I did not know what to expect. I was amazed at this ski again. This ski held on ice like nothing I have skied on in years. It still turned very easily and just held with very little effort. I skied for 2 hours and enjoyed myself!!! I had none of that beaten up feeling we tend to get in our legs and feet when we ski on snow that hard.
Day 4: The next morning the whole place was groomed, mostly nice groomed granular, but because it was so hard the night before there were some places that there were golf balls. It was nice to ski on nice snow finally on the right length for me. I loved it. Again it just turns so easily and smoothy. This ski tracks beautifully, you can really ride the rails. As far as any golf balls I encountered it just went right over them like they were'nt even there. I could make this ski rip around at high speeds and slow it down and just cruise. It just keeps going.
As the day progressed it began to snow very hard, heavy wet snow. We had about 6 inches in less than an hour and it just kept snowing. It snowed hard enough that I had to clean my goggles ever 3 turns. Again the ski just kept going, still turning very easily, smooth and stable. The ski was not bothered at all by the big clumps of wet snow. I was amazed. It was effortless skiing. I found some untracked snow and took them into it and they just kept turning with ease.
I skied on every trail from green circles to black diamonds and it performed great on all the trails. It was so user friendly on everything. I loved it on the steeps, it just tracks so well you don't have to work hard at all on steeps it just keeps turning with ease.
I have had complete effortless control in every condition I have skied this ski in so far. If you are looking for a ski that is easy to turn, tracks well, is smooth, stable, plows through anything, and holds GREAT on ice I highly recommend this ski. It is snappy and lively enough for any advanced skier and yet tame enough for any intermediate to feel totally at ease on and also be able to learn a lot on. This is just a nice fun all around ski that you can ski on all day and not ever have to fight with it. I am not easily impressed by a ski but this one has impressed me. I always ski as many skis as I can at our demo day and this is the first ski that has grabbed my attention in a few years. The other great thing about this ski is that you can find it for $299.99 with bindings on the internet right now.
It comes in a 146cm with a 10 meter radius, a 152cm with an 11 meter radius, and a 158cm with a 12 meter radius.
If you have any questions let me know.
