Description:

In this episode, I speak with Christian Haas, Fischer's product manager, about the complexities of ski design and construction. We explore how material combinations, thickness, and profile shape define a ski's performance, with differences between racing and rental skis. Christian discusses the Fischer RC4 CT ski, highlighting its advanced construction for stability and edge grip. We also delve into bending lines and their impact on stiffness and ski responsiveness.


Christian emphasizes the role of athlete feedback in ski development and introduces Fischer's noise technology, designed to reduce vibrations for smoother skiing. We wrap up with insights from Christian's career in ski product management, offering valuable perspectives on how expert knowledge, innovation, and testing lead to high-performance skis for all levels.
