The brand-new Fischer Nightstick 104 is an exciting, lively, freestyle-focused resort slayer that carved so well it brought me back to my old Red Mountain Racer days. When driving it forward and leaning into the downhill ski, I was ecstatic to find the energy I was putting into it felt like the same amount I was getting back. Fischer uses Air Tec technology in its skis—which reduces the weight of the wood core by 25 per cent without compromising integrity and stability—making the Nightstick 104 ideal for skiing in both directions, which will surely bring out the inner terrain park enthusiast in anyone who has the pleasure of clicking into it. This ski is targeted towards a more advanced skier, but due to its diverse capabilities, it possesses the ability to inspire creativity and push progression in any level of skier who’s looking to add more to their bag of tricks. —Alex Berg
