Fischer Progressor 9+ (2009)

We didn't know "raceful" was a word until we found it scrawled on David Currier's test card. But it's accurate. This ski is loaded with nerves and power, like a not-quite-broken horse.

Props

Testers described its turn feel as "fluid," "sleek," and "velvety."

Gripes

Needs to be locked into a carve or it feels lost.

Tester's Take

"Easterners, check this out." -David Currier
