There's a whole class of skis that prioritizes weight first and we've all got a friend who's all in. He probably wears spandex and loves "fitness touring." He might be out "training" for a skimo race. That's great. But if your goal is to tread that thin line between ultralight and functional, the Superscout Carbon fits the bill. Sure, you can join your friend for a few jaunts up the local ski area but while he's monitoring heart rate and timing his transitions, you can focus on the fun part: the skiing. The Superscout Carbon is laid up with carbon fiber, aramid-kevlar and triax glass wrapped around a light weight paulownia wood core, so you can get the power and bite on firm snow without sacrificing any sort of weight penalty on your fourth – or fifth – lap.
The Superscout Carbon is a specialized touring ski (83 mm - 85mm) designed for randonee, advanced touring, moutaineering and spring snow. Developed for skiers who demand superior dynamic responsiveness and agility in variable terrain and snow conditions from packed and icy, wet and heavy to tasty corn. The full carbon and light paulownia wood core construction offer ultra-lightweight progressive performance. The construction and shape of the Superscout makes long ascents feel shorter with no compromises made to downhill performance. For an ultra-lightweight touring ski, the Superscout Carbon provides unsurpassed control and predictability that will help you ski with full confidence and enjoyment. These ski doesn't noodle around on the downhills. It was designed to utilize nearly the entire length of the contact edge to enhance grip, add control and enable better drive into the turns. The shape and profile of the camber suspension deliver agility and responsiveness with efficient power transmission, and an overall very smooth edge-to-edge ride.
