  1. Pam Harris (verified owner) –

    “Absolutely love these! I was looking for the best cross-country skis for backcountry and these did not disappoint. They float beautifully in powder and the grip on climbs is surprisingly good, even without skins on moderate hills. Highly recommend for serious explorers.”

  2. Carrie Nielsen (verified owner) –

    “As a woman who values lightweight gear, these skis are a dream. They’re easy to maneuver and don’t feel heavy on long tours. Perfect for exploring untracked trails without feeling bogged down. Great for my go-to Nordic skis!”

  3. James Cole (verified owner) –

    “These skis are fantastic for off-piste adventures. The steel edges give great control on tricky descents, and the Offtrack Crown pattern really helps with grip. I bought these specifically to buy Nordic skis for ungroomed terrain, and they’ve exceeded my expectations.”

FAQs

Are these affordable backcountry skis with skins included?
The Fischer S-Bound 98 Xtralite skis are Dual Skin compatible, meaning they are designed to work with climbing skins for steep ascents. However, the skins are sold separately and are not included with the skis. You can choose either the mid-ski Easy Skin or the full-length Super Skin for optimal uphill power.
How to choose the right length for Fischer S-Bound 98 Xtralite cross-country skis?
Choosing the right length for your Fischer S-Bound 98 Xtralite cross-country skis depends on your weight and intended use. Generally, shorter skis offer more maneuverability, while longer skis provide better glide and stability. Refer to the manufacturer's size chart, which typically lists recommended skier weights for each ski length. For example, the 159 cm size is recommended for skiers weighing 100-119 pounds.
Are these suitable as top-rated touring skis for snowboarding enthusiasts?
While these are high-performance touring skis, they are specifically designed for cross-country skiing, not snowboarding. Their design focuses on efficient glide and turning in ungroomed snow using boots and bindings meant for Nordic skiing, which differs significantly from snowboarding equipment and technique. For snowboarding, you would need dedicated touring or splitboard setups.
