Stöckli Scale Gamma review 2016
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
A very versatile ski with consistent and reassuring behaviour, the Scale Gamma unfortunately lacks enough character to feature among the leaders.
However, it’s a good ski that will please riders looking for a model with disciplined, efficient and predictable behaviour, able to adapt to all snow conditions and terrains (on the piste). Adrenalin fans will prefer a livelier model like the Speed Course from Dynastar.
Review: Pros
- An easy and docile ski
- Stability in long turns
- Comfortable on all types of terrains and in all snow conditions
- Good performance in skid turns and carving
- A comfortable ski glides incredibly smoothly over the terrain, especially at ease on uneven snow.
Review: Cons
- Excellent behaviour when the ski is centred: the front of the ski loses hold with too much forward pressure while too much back pressure tends to ‘anchor’ the tail.
- Lack liveliness and punch
- Performance somewhat disappointing

Manufacturer's remarks
A model that can do everything! The wide tip guarantees good flotation in high snow, whilst the progressive geometry will have everyone enthusing about Scale Gamma’s sports potential on the groomers.
