The Fischer Adventure 62 Crown Xtralite cross-country skis are an amazing choice for skiers who spend most of their time in the track at the Nordic center, but who also want something useful and versatile for off-trail and adventure skiing. It's all in the name, at the end of the day, and it makes skiers really want to get out there and ski, from the groomed trails at the resort to untracked snow in the deep winter woods. With a 62-mm tip, a 52-mm waist, and a 60-mm tail, these skis have enough sidecut to make a turn, but remain straight enough to track well in the grooves, maintaining efficiency and speed throughout the tour. In the 179 cm length, the skis come in at 1630 grams per pair, and that's pretty light, but not so light that they start lacking in the stability department. Keeping you glued to the snow is Fischer's Offtrack Crown, whose cut digs in deep on the climbs, allowing for few slipbacks, keeping you on the up and up for as long as you want to ski. There's not much more frustrating than losing purchase on a steep climb, and Fischer's fish scale grip does a great job at mitigating that. If you're looking for a light weight setup for the cross-country world, the Fischer Adventure 62 Crown XTralite Cross-country skis are a totally fun and utilitarian way to scoot around on the snow for hours on end.
