Testers really enjoyed Scott’s The Ski, as it let them relax a little in the midst of cranking high octane turns on the hard chargers in this test, arcing buttery soft turns and enjoying the fact that the sun was out. Versatile enough to truly go on or off the groomed, built with a wood laminate core for pop and flex, this is a really fun ski that does not require too much work.

It’s overpowered in hard, fast turns, where it loses stability and edge grip. It’s not a ski for ex-racers or adrenaline junkies who want to blow the pistons out. It is a ski for intermediate to advanced skiers who like to cruise, but still appreciate well-designed peformance. All at a very attractive price!
