2026 Fischer Nightstick 104 Skis
The 2026 Fischer Nightstick 104 blurs the line between freestyle and freeride by combining the best characteristics of the two disciplines. The 104 is a great option for competitive and recreational freestyle skiers who don’t want to compromise on off trail performance, yet demand the durability and energy of a park ski. With a blend of pop, stability, and a twin tip shape, the 104 is begging to be used by creative freeriders in a soft snow format.
Why we like it:
The Nightstick 104 blends all the things we like about the Ranger line but adds a more playful and freestyle oriented shape, opening the door for freestyle skiers to bring their vision and skillset to life.
Who it's for:
Advanced to expert freestyle and freeride skiers who seek a ski that lends itself to creative off trail line choice, but can hold up to laps in the park as well.
Highlights:
The Nightstick 104 is built on a poplar woodcore that delivers both pop and rebound while providing solid stability and support. At the heart of the design is Air Tec, where Fischer skillfully mills out small sections of the core to reduce weight, lowering swing weight and improving maneuverability. The core is further reinforced with Fiber Tech, a fiberglass laminate running the full length of the ski, adding energy and stability. To boost durability in the underfoot area, Fischer includes titanal laminates for improved binding retention and protection against rail impacts. The ski also features a Sandwich Sidewall Construction, which enhances both durability and power transfer, while offering a playful pop off jumps and takeoffs.
Things to consider:
Although the Nightstick 104 is quite versatile in a freestyle and freeride format, it does have its limitations when it comes to on-trail carving, which is to be expected as that’s not what they’re designed for.
Fit & sizing considerations:
These ski true to size; selection should be made based on height, weight, and preferred terrain and skiing style.
