Designed for ski tourers who live for the descent but refuse to compromise on the climb, the Fischer Transalp 98 CTI strikes a masterful balance between freeride power and touring efficiency. Lightweight, stable, and confidence-inspiring, it’s built for big days, steep lines, and variable snow far beyond the resort boundary.
At the heart of the ski is Fischer’s Air Tec wood core, milled to remove unnecessary mass while preserving flex and torsional stability. Paired with Carbon Stringers and Shaped Ti Technology, the Transalp 98 CTI delivers impressive edge hold and composure when the terrain turns demanding. The result is a ski that feels light and efficient on the ascent, yet planted and precise when it’s time to drop in.
With a 98 mm waist and Tour ROCKER, this ski floats effortlessly in soft snow while remaining quick and predictable in tighter terrain. The Sandwich Sidewall Construction enhances rebound and power transmission, while the sintered base ensures fast, reliable glide across changing snow conditions. Whether navigating technical couloirs, open powder fields, or wind-affected alpine terrain, the Transalp 98 CTI offers control you can trust.

This guide is for alpine (downhill) skis. Ski length depends on your height, your ability, and how you like to ski. Use this chart as a starting point, then talk to us about the ski itself: rocker, width, and turn shape all change how long a ski feels.

Quick Rule
- Beginner: ski tip around your chin. Shorter skis turn easily.
- Intermediate: tip between your nose and forehead.
- Advanced: tip around the top of your head, for stability at speed.
- Expert: about 5cm longer than advanced, for hard charging and big-mountain terrain.
Adjust For
- Go longer: heavier build, fast skiing, deep snow, lots of tip rocker.
- Go shorter: lighter build, tight trees and moguls, uphill touring.
- Telemark: if you want a ski for tele, we recommend going down about 10cm from the length you normally like.
