Rocker Type: Traditional Camber
From Ski Magazine: "The Watea 94 doesnt screw around. Wood core, carbon fiber reinforcement, sandwich construction, near vertical sidewalls all in all a simple construction, fairly lightweight but plenty sturdy. Its straight sidecut would rather spend time in the fall line than cut across it, so its not surprising it got high marks for high speed stability. In fact, it works best at speed. The faster you go and the more pressure you put on it, the better it handles, said Larsen."
Josef Fischer Sr founded Fischer in 1924, producing rack wagons, sleds and wooden skis. By 1938 the brand had gained enough popularity to ship 200 pairs of skis to the United States. The company has long been closely associated with ski racing and produced the first metal skis which Egon Zimmerman carved to a gold metal at the 1964 Olympics. With their race pedigree, Fischer skis are known for being confidence inspiring at speed and are their expert skis are favored by strong aggressive skiers who like dependable edge grip. As of late, Fischer's freeride line of skis has become popular among those looking for a strong yet lively ride throughout a variety of snow conditions.
