Scott’s Vanisher garnered some of the highest for “float” in the entire test. This ski really does love to hit the fall-line in powder and sluff. Good snow conditions amped up the pleasure meter for all the testers who rode the Vanisher.

That happiness factor fell off quickly when the ski encountered hard snow or high speeds. “Stability” is where the Vanisher received its lowest rankings. Overall, an easy ski to ski, it did not reward skiers who wanted to test the limits of what they–and this ski–could really do.
