Erik Timmerman: Fischer has updated the Curv GT, taking it from a ski that was a nice piece of my quiver to a ski that could replace half of my quiver. The old GT felt like it had one thing it wanted to do; the new GT feels like it is ready to do most anything. The best thing to me was that there was no "figuring out the ski." It felt good just skating to the lift, and once I went down the ramp, the performance was intuitive. You want to bang off rapid short-swing turns? Sure! Lay trenches? Ok! Rip some bump lines? Yes, please! The ski is silky smooth with an improved shape versus the previous generation: the tip is less aggressive, which plays a big part in the versatility.
Philpug: Is it a Fischer Curv GT or Fischer The Curv GT? The name "The Curv" just doesn’t sound right. To the business at hand, Fischer brings back one of its most popular models from recent years with a fresh shape and updated performance. Where the retired Curv GT had a more gradual rise in the tip and a flared tail, the more traditional new version has a performance-oriented RC4-derived construction. The new Curv GT feels solid and smooth, and can be pushed, carved, taken into bumps ... it will even perform as an exam ski. This ski does it all. With a price point slightly more than regular skis but less than premium, it is unique considering what you get for your money with one of the best base and sidewall finishes.
Insider tip: This could be the perfect ski for your Level III exam. Also, size it according to the turn size you want to make.

Insider tip: Still some of the best-finished bases and sidewalls in the business.

- Who is it for?
- The better you ski, the more you will get out of the Curv GT. Lovers of all things corduroy who want some versatility.
- Who is it not for?
- It obviously is frontside-oriented; no one will mistake it for a powder ski. Those not sold on the need for a narrow ski. Shrug, your loss.
