Scott Sagebrush review 2016
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The Sagebrush from Scott is less playful than the Enforcer and less focused on performance than the Cochise, but is a good all-rounder.
The ski does well in all areas, although it never really shines. It’s ideal for average to good skiers looking for a reliable one-quiver model that performs well both on and off piste.
Review: Pros
- A consistent ski
- Consistent and reassuring performance
- Good grip
- Stable
- Very comfortable
Review: Cons
- A flexible ski that lacks firmness
- Poorer performance at higher speeds
- A wide and flexible ski tip that’s a bit shaky when you pick up speed.
- NB ProSkiLab™: the 2016 all mountain 30/70 ski review conditions (despite the date being pushed back several times) were exceptionally bad: e.g. transformed snow, crusting off-piste, hard pack on the piste. In these conditions, more rigid skis with better grip and better skimming power in uneven snow conditions tend to do better.
