2025 Fischer Ranger 96 Skis with Marker Griffon 13 ID Bindings

The 2025 Fischer Ranger 96 with Marker Griffon 13 ID Bindings is an exceptionally versatile all-mountain ski that shines in a wide range of conditions, from steeps and trees to bumps and powder. Its rockered profile, tapered shape, and partial metal laminate result in an intuitive design that brings impressive versatility. With a dependable and user-friendly feel, the Ranger 96 is a go-to ski for unpredictable conditions, offering reliability no matter what you encounter. We paired the 96 with the Marker Griffon 13 ID because of the Griffon’s precision and reliability for all mountain and freeride skiers. With a robust construction and all the best tech, the Griffon 13 is a popular high-performance binding choice for wider-bodied skis for good reason.

Why we like it:

The Ranger 96 offers an impressive blend of performance features that cater to a broad spectrum of skier types. Its rocker profile facilitates easy maneuverability in soft snow, while its sidecut and flex pattern deliver powerful and intuitive carving. The ski strikes a rare balance between approachability and power, making it a standout choice in its category.

Who it's for:

The Ranger 96 is suitable for a wide range of skiers. It accommodates those who prefer slower speeds and easier turns, while the metal underfoot adds stability and grip for more aggressive carvers on firmer snow.

Highlights:

Featuring a wood core made of beech and poplar, the Ranger 96 delivers a responsive and energetic flex pattern. Shaped Titanal laminates underfoot enhance vibration damping and binding retention. The Flex Cut, with triangular sections removed from the metal in the mid-section, allows for a more even flex pattern, improving the ski’s intuitive and predictable feel on both soft and firm snow. The Sandwich Sidewall Construction increases the ski's overall stiffness and power transfer by utilizing a full sidewall, ensuring precise edge control. As we’ve come to expect from Marker, there’s no shortage of tech packed into the Griffon 13 binding. Marker’s Triple Pivot Elite Toe and Inter-pivot 3 Freeride Heel systems work in tandem to provide improved edge grip and control, as well as helping to mitigate vibrations for a smooth ride. A cleverly placed anti-ice rail sits on top of the toepiece and can be used to scrape off those pesky clumps of snow and ice that accumulate on the sole of your boot. With Multinorm (MN) boot compatibility, the Griffon 13 is a versatile and reliable choice for a huge range of skiers and applications.

Things to consider:

Skier weight can affect performance, as lighter skiers generally find the Ranger 96 more accommodating than heavier, more powerful skiers.

Skis true to size.
