Silvretta FR 800 Freeride AT Skis

a great all around ski for the intermediate to advanced backcountry skier. light, flexible, good response.

Lightweight, turns and floats well in powder as well as on crust. All around great ski, both inbounds and out.

Great lightweight BC ski that floats surprisingly well even though only mid-fat. I have them mounted with Silvretta Pure bindings and it is a great lightweight AT set-up. Skis chatter a bit on icy crud because they are so lightweight. I also love the fact that nobody else has this ski - I feel special, haha.

These are the lightest BC ski I could find. At only 6 pounds, mounted with Dynafit bindings with 3-buckle Dynafit boots the whole setup feels like skiing uphill on a cloud. Downhill they perform well too. Plenty fat for a lighter-weight skier, and I am happy to compromise on width to get a lighter ski for the ascent. I like that it is available in 165 cm - an extra 5 cm for a 170 cm ski adds weight and length that I don't necessarily need in the BC.

Mounted these with some Fritschi bindings. Great AT setup for Sierra backcountry. Climbs well and did well on the descents in difficult conditions.
