Superscout - 85 mm Touring Skis 2023-24
While many skis prioritize weight above all else, they often lack compliance and can be challenging to handle. They shine in skimo races, but for those who savor the thrill of skiing a 3,000-foot vertical line in perfect corn or confidently navigating committing slopes, there's a better way. Why limit yourself to uphill performance when the true joy lies in the descent? That's why we're here, after all. Meet the Superscout – a lightweight core combined with a gradual rocker profile, designed for epic alpine adventures. Planning a day on Rainier or venturing out to the Flying Dutchman? The Superscout has you covered. Even mid-winter yo-yos in Tuckerman's are a breeze. For those extended backcountry journeys, this is the ski that'll carry you through every challenge. Elevate your alpine experience with the Superscout on your feet.

Deep Dive:
The Superscout shares the shape, engineering and design principles with the ultralight Superscout Carbon skis. It is designed for touring enthusiasts who seek light weight for the uphill climb but who prefer a more forgiving and softer ride downhill. This is our versatile light-weight touring ski (83-85mm) that offers a perfect balance between uphill performance and stable, confident skiing in highly variable snow including heavy spring snow. It is built with ultra-light weight paulownia wood core wrapped in triaxial and biaxial fiberglass layup. The most important design principle of the Superscout was to build light-weight touring skis while not compromising any downhill performance. You can be sure that these skis perform similar to downhill skis. The Superscout utilizes nearly the entire length of the contact edge which enhances grip on icy or packed snow, improves control and helps you drive into the turns. It handles high speed with ease and is very confident in variable terrain. The shape of the camber suspension delivers agility and responsiveness with great power transmission and the minimally arched tails improve control and turn release. The Superscout touring skis offer a lot of fun and pack lots of features into a light weight platform that delivers a very smooth edge-to-edge ride downhill.
