Common questions
Borderline fittersOur Find my length tool starts from your height: beginners about 15 cm under their height; plus 4 cm if you're heavier than most people your height, minus 4 if lighter; minus 3 more if you mostly carve. Example: a beginner skier 160 cm tall gets about 145 cm, so the 145. We carry 140, 145, 150, 155 and 160 cm.
It's built for beginners, but Fischer rates it Beginner to Advanced (3–5 on its 10-step catalogue scale). Fischer calls it a very versatile ski for beginners: light, forgiving and easy to control.
Groomed runs. Fischer rates it on-piste only, and its 72 mm waist is in the 66–80 mm range we suggest for mostly groomed Ontario runs.
It's built for easy control rather than hard-snow racing: a light Air Power core, glass fibre and no metal layer, with an on-piste rocker that makes turns easy to start.
About
Fischer Lite 72 Skis (26-27)
The Fischer Lite 72 is the entry-level ski in Fischer's Lite piste range: light, forgiving and made for groomed runs only. Fischer rates it Beginner to Advanced and calls it the ideal ski for beginners who want safety and control. This set comes with the RS 9 GW SLR binding (DIN 2.5–9).
Fischer says it is very versatile for beginners, forgiving and easy to control, and that its effortless handling saves energy all day. Air Power construction keeps the weight down, Fiber Tech helps it flex and respond, and an On-Piste Rocker makes each turn easy to start.

Questions
Asked in store, answered by our fitters
What length should I get?
Our Find my length tool starts from your height: beginners about 15 cm under their height; plus 4 cm if you're heavier than most people your height, minus 4 if lighter; minus 3 more if you mostly carve. Example: a beginner skier 160 cm tall gets about 145 cm, so the 145. We carry 140, 145, 150, 155 and 160 cm.
Is this ski right for my level?
It's built for beginners, but Fischer rates it Beginner to Advanced (3–5 on its 10-step catalogue scale). Fischer calls it a very versatile ski for beginners: light, forgiving and easy to control.
Is it for groomers, all-mountain or powder?
Groomed runs. Fischer rates it on-piste only, and its 72 mm waist is in the 66–80 mm range we suggest for mostly groomed Ontario runs.
Will it hold an edge on icy Ontario groomers?
It's built for easy control rather than hard-snow racing: a light Air Power core, glass fibre and no metal layer, with an on-piste rocker that makes turns easy to start.
Does it come with bindings?
Yes. It comes with the Fischer RS 9 GW binding (DIN 2.5–9, 78 mm brake) on Fischer's SLR Pro binding rail.
Will my boots fit the bindings? What does GW mean?
The RS 9 GW takes standard alpine (ISO 5355) and GripWalk (ISO 23223) boot soles. GW means GripWalk: a rockered, rubber-treaded sole that makes walking easier. Touring-sole boots aren't listed for it.
What's its turn radius?
The turn radius is 13 m at 140 cm, 13.5 m at 145, 14 m at 150, 14.5 m at 155 and 15 m at 160 cm. Its on-piste rocker makes each turn easy to start.
Is it stiff or soft?
Soft and forgiving. Fischer describes it as light, forgiving and easy to control, with a glass-fibre build for effortless turns.
Do you mount the bindings? Do I need to bring my boots?
Yes, free and the same day at Richmond Hill and Ottawa. We set the bindings to your boots, so bring yours or buy boots with the skis; you check and sign off on the setup in store. Skis we ship go out unmounted.
Does it have rocker or camber?
It has Fischer's On-Piste Rocker, which shortens the contact length so turns start with less effort.
Is this the current model?
Yes. Fischer lists this Lite 72 set, with the RS 9 GW SLR binding, in its 26/27 range.
What warranty does it have?
It's covered by Borderline Outdoor's 1-year warranty. If something goes wrong, contact us with your order details.
