LIGHT AND AGILE ON TECHNICAL ASCENTS WITH A SURPRISING AMOUNT OF POWER ON THE WAY DOWN, the Scott Superguide Freetour impressed our testers. “A great balance of maneuverability and stability,” reported one FREESKIER tester. “Ideal for longer days in the backcountry since it’s easy to ski, but even easier to hike!” Lightweight paulownia and beech reinforced with carbon and aramid, keep this ski strong and stiff, with solid edge hold through turns on icy firm snow. Rockered tips and tails allow for smooth, intuitive steering, and at 104-mm, the waist is floaty enough to enjoy a low-density storm in the Rockies, just stay away from Cascade Concrete. Stable at speed, expert skiers will love the reliability and solid feel underfoot when charging big lines, and intermediate skiers will love the vast amount of terrain the Scott Superguide Freetour unlocks.
