115+ MM Freestyle Ranking: #06

If rocking down huge lines in Alaska is a recurrent daydream of yours, consider getting your kicks on Fischer Big Stix 122 Skis. A 122 mm platform, camber underfoot and squared-off tail ensure a stable, powerful ski, while dual rocker adds fl oat and combats crud and chop. Snappy poplar combines with solid beech wood to promote stability and produce substantial edge hold. Fischer’s Air Carbon—the use of a high strength-to-weight aerospace grade composite—improves handling and response, as well. One tester noted that the Big Stix “held its own on everything.” Another said it was “amazingly agile and easy to ski for such a giant.”
