With a high-quality waxless-scaled “Off-Track Crown” insert- book-ended by superb sintered tip/tail- an Easy-Skin insert camber-and-a-half underfoot and a full-length stable flex. (I think she may like the 88 even more than the 78- but, more on that later.)įischer recently used to classify this ski as an “Off-Track Cruising” ski. It is becoming clear that my wife likes the 78 better than all of them in this class (at least for a XC ski). My wife’s favourite ski in this class used to be the Madshus Eon.Īs she became a better Nordic skier she has more often reached for the E109 or the Combat Nato than her beloved soft-flexing Eon. It is light enough to make quick step and jump turns. It has enough camber and stiffness underfoot to release the kick zone when striding forward- but it is soft enough to make it relatively easy to engage the traction zone. It has an excellent stable flex- making it stable in all snow conditions- including deep snow. It is a fast enough XC ski on backcountry snow. HECK- even my E99 Tour- with considerable Nordic rocker is easier to turn than the 78. My Eon, E109, and Ingstad BC are all much better downhill skis. It is not easy to turn- with its traditional XC flex. My E99 and my Gamme 54 are much faster XC skis. However, for someone like me, it is just- well- a bit boring…Įven at 199cm, it is not super-fast.
This ski in all honesty is an excellent off-track cross-country ski.
