Advanced All Mountain Ski
The 2014 C-Line First Lady by Fischer is designed to handle anything on the mountain, from icy hard-pack to slushy late-spring crud. This ski is not the master of any one terrain or snow type, but will still serve you well enough whether you are floating through powder or carving down a hard-packed groomed slope. With a narrow waist width (< 75 mm) this ski's design is more focused to excel at carving down groomed slopes. The C-Line First Lady will perform similar to a performance carving ski, with quick edge to edge transitions and great edge grip, but with a bit more versatility to travel off the grooms.
As a women's ski, C-Line First Lady will be lighter, shorter, and more flexible than its male counterpart. A women's center of gravity is in her hips (a man's is in his chest), so women's skis are often constructed to move the skier's center of gravity forward.
ybrid (Rocker and Camber) Ski Profile
The ski's profile is 85% camber with 15% rocker in the tip of the ski. The rockered tip keeps the tip of the ski above the snow, improving the flotation of the ski (especially in powder!) and reducing the probability the tips will catch. The tip rocker also allows the ski to be more nimble and maneuverable, while the camber profile preserves the ski's ability to carve on hard pack.
