Spider 62 Crown 25/26

The Fischer Spider 62 Crown Xtralite is a light, metal-edged touring ski with a waxless scaled base, paired with Fischer's Control Step-In binding. The Xtralite build keeps weight down for easier carrying, the waxless base needs no preparation, and the metal edges add bite once the groomed track ends.

The honest trade-off comes in two parts. The narrow waist means float runs out in genuinely deep snow, where wider models do better, and the scaled base gives up some glide compared to skin skis.

It is for beginner to intermediate skiers who want recreational off-track touring on rolling forest terrain, golf courses and unplowed roads, with a ski light enough to enjoy on a packed trail too.

The Spider 62 comes in 168, 178, 188 and 198cm lengths, and Fischer recommends sizing based on body weight. Come in and we will help match a length to you.

We think it is a great, easygoing ski for exploring Vermont's backroads, woods trails and snowy fields straight from the door.
