 FISCHER THE CURVE With a firm hold on the ground, these skies really do take controlling and you need to team up with them, step up to their ferocious attitude as they take no prisoners. Once we made a plan, and they let me know they were the boss, and I was working on their terms, we got on pretty well and the mission began.  On harder and ice conditions I felt more secure with The CURVE, its carving is severe and deep. Not as flexible as the HERO, care is needed when carving and time to adjust to The CURV and its heavy nature. This is a ski for a more advanced skier who is willing to push their ability.
A serious ski, and powerful! The thicker core takes more strength to guide and it is great for more of a work out. An option I would use not only in certain conditions on piste, but also for a fuller leg and thigh strengthening. The necessity for a greater mental focal point with these was inspiring, as I said you need to work for them, as they are feeding information from the conditions to you like all skies, and you need to react shapely, quickly and attach power and resilience due to their stiff and heavyer design.  Photo Christopher Sims © I found at one point my entire body and mind had elevated to a position I hadn’t experienced before; totally serious, ferocious and 100% committed. Me and The CURVE were conquering this snow world as a duo. Sounds ridiculous I know, it’s all about having fun. But there is a serious nature to skiing, and knowing the conditions, the skis, having a strong technique are all about having more fun. With a stronger technique the fun increases immensely, as you embarque on a physical, emotional and sensual education, beginning to understand the environment and condition deeper, along with your own physical structure and ability as one advances. Awesome stuff trust me!!!
Narrow carving in design, im ‘dubbing’ this the ice carver, as it’s so good on hard conditions, and with shallow carving the stability is great. I would not throw these around in wide carving generally, they are capable of bucking you straight of the piest. The CURVE want, and will be shallow carving, even better, they just want to go in pretty much a straight line with I little left and right slicing, they just love this on ice, hard compact and groomed conditions. Any wide carving not suitable, and pushing your weight and thigh into the CURVE when stopping quicker is essential, or you may just be jack knifing over your self and them.  Orelle - Val Thorens: Photo Christopher Sims © On un groomed and mogul conditions these will throw you around, so keep a flexible lower position and bent knees to keep stable. If you aren’t in control of The CURVE they will throw you off like a bucking mule. Having said this, I thoroughly enjoyed my absolute focus point with them. Together we had a really epic mountan operation day, military style! If you are seriously looking to improve your skiing technique, and really understand how to work with hard and ice conditions; Fischer The CURVE are a schooling in this sport and art form. A few days after my run with these, I could see a massive advance in my technique, agility, confidence, and the understanding of my body, muscle and frame in contact with the condition on piste. If I had the choice, these would be in my collection of skies in my locker, and we would regularly be teaming up as a formidable duo. For all you Ski Hire INTERSPORT SKI HIRE
