A burly all-mountain ski with a stiff construction and a freeride inspired shape, the Fischer Ranger 96 is built to handle everything on the mountain and loves to be pushed hard and fast. A versatile 96mm waist keeps turns locked in without sacrificing floatation on deeper days, while the titanium reinforced core adds plenty of stability for those who like to go fast.

Key Features:

  • Flex Cut – A specially notched section of the ski core under the binding optimizes the flex of the ski.
  • Shaped Ti – The intentionally-shaped titanium layer follows the contours of the ski to maximize grip and stability.
  • Freeride Rocker – A shorter contact area of the ski allows quick and easy turns while enhancing flotation.

Henry Kvietok tested this product
The Fischer Ranger 96 is the daily driver ski that you reach for when you're not sure what the conditions of the day will be. If there is some fresh powder, these skis have a generous amount of tip rocker that will have you floating to the top. If you're ripping some fresh morning corduroy, these have a stiffer midsection... Read more
Ideal for
  • Stiff midsection for good underfoot stability
  • Very rockered tip floats the ski up in powder and makes turn initiation easy
  • Versatile waist width for a variety of all mountain conditions
Not ideal for
  • The rockered tip can be a bit chattery at very high speeds
  • It has a rather strong tail which punishes backseat skiing
  • For better performance in powder, look to the Ranger 102

The Fischer Ranger has a been a hot topic in the ski industry this season since the whole design got a major overhaul between this season and last. There's big reason why we've seen it in so many ski movies this season. It follows the trend the of the partial metal core with the bulk of the bite being directly... Read more

I knew I wanted skiing gear for the season, but didn’t know anything about the ski gear. Leo walked me through some great options and explained the differences. I really appreciate that he found sales items. On an aesthetic level he made sure things looked like they went together instead of just a random assortment of colors.

Leif was very patient with my picky nature for choosing my first board. He kept sending me really great options! His feedback for the boards were really insightful and the picks for my boots and bindings were perfect! This was a really fun and unique experience. Highly recommend to my friends that I’ll be riding with!

I was looking to purchase a new setup (snowboard, boots, bindings, and googles) for the upcoming season. Everything I have is very worn out. The last time I purchased a new setup was ten years ago, and I did not know where to start. So, I went through the "find your snowboard" quiz and was matched with Mike. From there we were able to really dial in my setup. I can't wait to try it out! Thank you Mike!

I'm getting back into snowboarding after a lonnngg hiatus and Leif knew exactly what I needed for both my skill level and the exact mountain I will be spending time at this winter. I had a pretty small budget considering the cost of gear and he found me a board and bindings way under budget. I was thrilled. I was also delighted that I got a personalized video describing my options. Highly recommended!

Ryan was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I can in knowing nothing about snowboards and I gave him a weird task of trying to find a board that would work for both me and my brother at different weights. I appreciate how happy he was to help and how he kept checking in on me wanting to help.

Jay is Awesome!
5 /5
Jay is very knowledgeable when it comes to snowboards. If you really want to dive into the differences between the materials, and engineering behind snowboards Jay is the guy to get into these conversations with. I’ve been riding for 25 plus years, and at this point in my life, I really appreciate Jay being there to just talk about the different nuances of snowboarding. I feel he was really able to understand the type of riding I like to do, and where i want to take my riding, and made excellent gear recommendations.
