Salomon waited to make an entry into the ultralight touring boot category, but their first effort looks very promising. Check out our first impressions of the S/Lab X-Alp.
The Fischer Ranger 98 Ti is light, snappy, and energetic. It’s easy to ski, but it also responds very well to solid technique. And it’s a good option for those looking for a ski to pull 50/50 duties in the resort and backcountry.
