New for 2015, the Ranger 88 Ti takes the Watea legacy & creates a powerful all-mountain freeride ski for progressing & advanced skiers. Pistes have limits, wild steep slopes & powder is where it is at! The ranger offers ingenious shovel geometry for float when needed & easy ski touring skin attachment, as the Ranger series is as comfortable being a back country touring ski as it is a freeride ski. Air Tec construction makes these skis light enough for touring without compromising ride quality, & the titanal shell enhances ski feedback & makes the skis suitable for the widest range of bindings whether alpine or touring. Edge & Wax are selling the Ranger 88 Ti with the super durable Attack 13 freeride binding by Tyrolia. With a slightly narrower waist than the big brother 96 Ti & slightly lighter weight, this ski is suited to spending time on piste as well as off piste into the powder. SKI

SKIER PROFILE Skier Type: Progressing Intermediates through to Expert skiers Skier Energy: A sporty ski requiring some input thanks to the titanal layer Snow Conditions: All Conditions Terrain: All-Mountain freeride skiing, all-conditions piste skiing An agile & responsive ski with stacks of edge hold, I really enjoyed pushing this ski down both reds & blacks at speed. I was one of the few that was not fussed about the predecessor, the Watea, but this is a different beast, much more accessible & yet just as versatile. Is this for me? For the strong intermediate & advanced skier looking for a cracking all-mountain ski that can still tear up the pistes too.
