Scott The Ski review 2016
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
After a performance-oriented ski (the Kendo), a very stable ski with remarkable user-friendliness and efficiency (the Motive 86), the top three would ideally include an accessible and comfortable ski.
This model is ideal for less physical skiers who want a versatile, easy ski that’s at home on most terrains and requires little technical skill or physical effort.
Review: Pros
- A very easy and tolerant ski
- Very agile with easy turn initiation
- A comfortable ski that smoothly cushions the terrain
- Requires little physical effort
- Great fun in soft snow and when riding for relaxation
Review: Cons
- A flexible ski that lacks character and energy
- Bindings a bit too far back on the model tested
