What Fischer says about the Ranger 90
“The Ranger 90 is an all-mountain specialist that can carve well and handle soft snow with ease. Its technical features make for a powerful ski with excellent all-mountain performance.
Its excellent ride quality comes from a calibrated Flex Cut and Shaped Ti metal reinforcement specific to each length. Easy-steering, progressive responsiveness, and incomparable stability on- or off-piste make this the ideal ski for both carving and powder turns.
The Ranger ski line is the result of 30 months of intense collaboration between team athletes, shop employees, ski engineers, and ski addicts with the aim of getting more out of every day spent on snow, regardless of conditions or the terrain.
The skis in the Ranger range are made in Europe and have been developed with close attention to the selection of raw materials and the use of recycled materials to minimise our environmental impact.”

Why is this ski not in the Blister Review? I bought it thinking that I might read about it and other mid 80s to mid 90s – but the review is packed with wide skis.
