2026 Fischer Adventure 62 Crown Cross Country Skis W/ Control Step In Bindings

The 2026 Fischer Adventure 62 Crown Xtralite is a classic touring ski built to perform both on groomed tracks and off-trail explorations. With its wood-core lightweight construction and fishscale-based grip system, it offers dependable traction and float in varied conditions from packed snow to fresh powder.

Why we like it:

It walks the line between control and versatility, easy to turn, predictable underfoot, and always ready for whatever terrain you encounter.

Who it's for:

Ideal for intermediate to advanced recreational skiers who want a no-fuss classic ski that handles everything from groomed circuits to forest singletrack.

Highlights:

The Air Channel wood core integrates hollow fiberglass chambers that save weight while enhancing durability, edging precision, and stability through uneven terrain. Fischer’s Offtrack Crown waxless base carries progressive depth scales that deliver impressive grip uphill and clean glide downhill, eliminating wax dependency. Mid‑length sizing and a narrow sidecut give it nimble handling and maneuverability in tighter trails, without sacrificing stability for higher speeds. Speed Grinding 2.0 ensures consistent glide across snow conditions.

Things to consider:

While the Adventure 62 excels in off-track and mixed-condition touring, it isn’t designed for high-speed performance or aggressive downhills. It lacks metal edges, so control on icy slopes is limited, and the fishscale base may feel draggy in warm, wet snow where glide is compromised.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Length should be selected based on skier weight and intended use, with sizes ranging from 169 to 199 cm. Shorter lengths provide better maneuverability in dense terrain, while longer lengths enhance glide on open tracks. The integrated IFP plate ensures quick, tool-free binding adjustments to fine-tune grip or glide without swapping equipment.
