The Fischer Aeroguide 65 skate ski package pairs a beginner-focused ski and its included Control Skate Step-In binding with a race-focused boot. Shorter lengths and two continuous grooves keep the ski stable underfoot, and a snug heel cap on the boot sends power straight to the ski. Carbon and fiberglass poles complete this skate ski package with poles, so a skater steps up with room to keep progressing. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"A race boot on a beginner ski sounds like too much, but the BOA Fit System tightens with a dial, so I fine-tune the fit mid-session without stopping to retie. The slim shape keeps my foot from sliding, and the ski's grooves handle the stabilizing. The stiff sole rewards a skater who keeps progressing, so I would choose this setup for someone who plans to."
