Fischer OTX 78 Traverse Crown Nordic Ski - 179

The Fischer OTX 78 Traverse Crown Nordic Ski—also known as the Traverse 78 Crown/Skin Xtralite—is engineered for off-trail nordic touring, delivering a lightweight and robust package that excels in ungroomed terrain. With a slightly deeper-than-average sidecut (78–61–69 mm), a full-length steel edge, and Nordic Rocker Camber profile, this ski offers excellent stability, responsive control, and effortless turn initiation across varied snow surfaces.

Equipped with Fischer’s innovative Offtrack Crown climbing zone, the ski blends dependable grip and glide—ideal for backcountry ascents—while maintaining a lightweight feel courtesy of its Air Tec Steel Edge core, which features air channels integrated into light wood to save energy on long tours. Addition of Fischer Easy Skin compatibility makes tackling steeper climbs even more efficient, widening the ski’s performance envelope.

As a versatile go-anywhere companion, the Traverse Crown is equally suited for adventure-minded nordic skiers breaking trail in soft snow and exploring rugged terrain. Its full steel edge ensures secure control and solid durability, while thoughtful touches like Speed Grinding 2.0 and Rental Tail Protectors enhance glide and rugged use. Whether you're exploring forests, meadows, or steep backcountry slopes, these skis offer a well-rounded mix of grip, glide, and handling.
