Scott The ski W's review 2018

PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

The SKi W's from Scott has the same qualities as its peer designed for men. It’s a relatively springy ski with progressive flex. The reviewers liked its accessibility, its overall behaviour, and its great agility and fluidity on soft snow. The tip tends to bend slightly in chopped up crud, but it’s the price for its user-friendliness. Its flexibility means that you should avoid getting one that's too short. The size of the model reviewed (160cm for 165cm requested) meant that it was judged insufficient by many of the reviewers. The Ski W's is an excellent choice for riders looking for a versatile, easy and enjoyable ski.


Review: Pros

  • Accessible
  • Fun and enjoyable
  • A progressive ski that helps riders improve their technical skills
  • Good grip

Review: Cons

  • A flexible ski that tends to bend in the crud
