The Fischer Outtabounds Crown ski is a true Nordic hybrid ski. Fischer's Turning Crown system gives you the traction you need on the uphill without messing up your turns on the downhill. The Outtabounds's wide (88/68/78)mm dimensions give it superb float in powder and Snowshocks extend from the mounting zone to help dampen vibration. The Outtabounds is happiest mounted with a light telemark rig like a 3-pin cable binding and will perform admirably on the flats up the hills and down the other side. Perfect for hut trips the Outtabounds Crown's built-in kick will drive your friends nuts as you run circles around them while they mess with skins. If you want maximum versatility without swapping out skis and gear all day the Outtabounds crown will do it all. Bottom Line: Skis that'll take you outta sight.
