Scott’s Superguide 88 W is a great choice for stronger tourers and freeskiers thanks to its lightweight and impressive alpine performance. Carbon Aramid layers improve the dampening and the 3Dimension Tour Sidecut ensures versatility thanks to its mix of turn radius. It’s a ski that feels light on the way up and powerful on the way down.
Terrain SuitabilityThe Superguide 88W is going to suit a real mix of conditions, though at 88mm in the waist it isn’t aimed at skiers focused on fresh snow. The construction, carbon aramid fibres and the mix of woods, including the firmer beech stringers, make sure the ski has plenty of bite on hard snow and grip on steep terrain. The 3Dimension Tour Sidecut ensures great handling whatever the snow and the Tip Rocker improves control when things are softer or trickier. Would make an excellent ski for stronger skiers in Scotland.
Skier TypeIt’s a ski that will appeal to stronger tourers and freeskiers who will be happy with a little bit more weight because of the benefits that this brings on the descent. Known for excellent edge hold and grip, you can really push it with total confidence on firmer or steeper slopes. Less skilled skiers may prefer a more forgiving ride, especially when the snow gets tricky, but confident skiers are going to be very impressed.
ShapeThe new 3Dimension Touring Sidecut is a revolutionary design for a better touring tuning that combines a tip and tail radius with either a central flat line or a small amount of sidecut under foot. The tip and tail radii allow for easy turn initiation while the flat line or a larger radius provides stability, power and precise edge hold.
RockerTip Rocker 320. Combining a progressive shape with increased tip height and radius creates Pro-Tip Rocker. Scott's Pro-Tip provides a more versatile and forgiving ski no matter the conditions. Agility and progressiveness are improved, increased stability.
CoreA full length, Dual Wood Core of paulowonia and beech stringers produces a more consistent ski flex and creates a homogeneous transition between the middle part and rockered tip and tail. The paulownia has excellent strength to weight characteristics; the beech is tough and strong to boost versatility.
ConstructionSandwich Tour. Making the ski as light as possible is important, but keeping the downhill performance is essential. This is why Scott reinforced the ski with carbon/aramid fibres along the full length of the ski. These strategically placed strips are torsionally rigid with an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The result is a stable yet lively ride in a lightweight package that’s still surprisingly quick and reliable on the ascent and won’t let you down on that hard-earned descent.
Sizing DescriptionNose level to forehead height is ideal. A longer length is important if there is a bigger rocker or you're spending more time off piste, however, will add extra weight. Keep them shorter for a lighter-overall package if that’s important to you.
