Softer and more forgiving version of the S 11.1 aimed more at good intermediates and advanced skiers looking for a cruisey ski with "exclusive looks", everything is relative! They are very pleasant though and are happy from quite slow speeds up to fast red run skiing, as with the majority of Fischer's they are not the happiest when in the bumps. Also try the fun and lively Nordica SUV 12's, Volkl's 724 Exp for all-mtn versatility or the Omecarve 9 for shorter carved turns on piste.
