Scott Superguide

This ski is specifically engineered for backcountry touring and mountaineering. While it can handle resort runs, its lightweight construction and uphill-focused design are optimized for long ascents and variable, un-groomed terrain.

At 88 mm underfoot, this ski is narrower than a dedicated powder ski, meaning it won't provide maximum float in deep, fresh snow. However, this width makes it exceptionally quick edge-to-edge and reliable on firm, icy, or technical terrain where precision is more important than flotation.

These materials provide the necessary torsional rigidity and stability to handle high speeds and aggressive turns without adding the weight of traditional metal laminates. It keeps the ski light enough for efficient climbing while ensuring it doesn't feel flimsy or chatter on firm snow.

At 1340 grams, it is quite light, which is a major advantage for climbing. While it offers impressive stability for its weight class, skiers who prioritize maximum dampness and a heavy, planted feel for high-speed resort charging might find it less substantial than a dedicated freeride ski.

The 3Dimension sidecut is designed to be versatile, allowing for a mix of turn shapes. It provides a stable, predictable feel during long, sweeping turns while remaining agile enough to make quick, precise adjustments in tight chutes or technical terrain.
