Fischer Big Stix 10.6 Alpine Ski
|
Powered by a bomber wood core that’s surprisingly lightweight and nimble, the 106mm-waisted Fischer Big Stix 10.6 alpine ski is built to do one thing, and do it well: float pow at ridiculous speeds. From stomping huge cliff hucks to catching the rope drop on a powder day and leaving the crowd behind in two turns, these skis are the ultimate big mountain choice. And you've gotta get down some skied-out junk and the occasional groomer, so the 10.6 offers enough sidecut and torsional stiffness to navigate such pow-less situations without blinking. They've got a light-footed snap that'll put a smile on your face.

Surprisingly Versatile
I bought this ski with the intention that I would only break it out on the deepest Utah powder days but to my surprise I use the ski all the time. It is a great backcountry ski that is very easy to turn. I also like how fast you can go on this ski it does not appear to have a speed limit.

Training Tips
For runners looking to get the maximum benefit from hill training, as you sprint to the top of the hill have your arms pumping faster and faster. Once you get to the top, continue on increasing your speed as much as possible.
After each interval, take your pulse rate by counting the number of beats at your wrist or neck for 15 seconds. Multiply that result by four to get your beats per minute. Your next interval should start before your heart rate is less than 60% of your maximum.
The four components of good fitness include flexibility, muscular endurance, muscular strength, and cardiorespiratory endurance. For optimum health, include at least two of these groups in three workouts per week.
Your fitness level will improve by overloading, working your body hard enough to stimulate the body, progression, increasing the frequency, intensity, and duration of exercise over time, and regularity, working out frequently, at least three times a week.
