Skis Scott

While we'e happy to be amicable in most situations, we don't like to make compromises on the mountains. This means we want a ski that climbs like it's barely there on the skin track, but descends like an all-mountain powerhouse. Scott's Superguide Freetour is built to do just that, with a Paulownia and Beach core that's light and stable, plus carbon and aramid fibers that boost stiffness without weight.

Having a lightweight ski is essential when we're aiming to knock out long tours, but flailing our way down the descent isn't any fun, so we need to balance climbing ability and skiing chops. The Scott Superguide 95 Ski pulls off this delicate balancing act by using Scott's elliptical sandwich sidewall construction, which combines traditional near-vertical sidewalls with a rounded construction to balance edge hold, stability, and weight. The core is made of wood, but Scott laid it up with layers of carbon and aramid to add stiffness without bringing extra ounces along for the ride.

Powerful and direct, the Scott Pure PRO 109 Ti Ski brings all of the qualities that freeride skiers demand. The 109mm waist width provides control that we can trust on groomers, in post-storm chop, and even in fresh snow with the help of the pronounced tip rocker. Camber underfoot holds an edge on exposed lines, while the titanal laminate provides the stiff response we need to count on when pointing it to the bottom.

Lightweight construction meets a beefy powder shape in the Scott Pure Pow 115 Ski. As the name suggests, this ski thrives on a deep day by floating through fresh snow on the 115mm waist and rocker in the tip. It also inspires freestyle control by limiting weight with a paulownia core and letting you pivot and break the rockered tail free.

Don't let the Scott Pure Mission 98 TI Ski and its lightweight construction fool you, these sticks are made for all-mountain freeriding. The lightweight makes it easy to manipulate and swing these skis around in tight areas and in the air, while the versatile 98mm waist width encourages us to ignore the conditions. Meanwhile, the versatile rocker profile holds an edge, adds forgiveness, and lets us float.

When the powder's as pure as can be, or even if it isn't, the Scott Kids' Pure Jr Ski is an absolute joy to ride. It's a kid's freeride ski with enough versatility for all-mountain riding. If it's nice and snowy, the Pure floats down big mountains like a breeze. Groomers and afternoon chop aren't a problem for this ski, either.
