2008/2009 Scott P3 - 178 - Review


Bottom Line: This ski is awesome. I have been using this ski as my go-to park ski over the last year.  It has a fairly stiff flex pattern, making it a great all mountain park ski.  It is a very playful ski, very poppy, very light, and very fun.  This is one of the most under rated park skis on the market.

Pros:  The ski has a very low swing weight.  It is a very light ski, fairly stiff, and very poppy.  This ski handles the entire mountain well but is at home in the park.  The top sheet is very durable.

Cons: After sliding a ton of rails on this ski, rather than the edge wearing down, the base of the ski actually delaminated from the core material. Its not surprising since I ski my park skis hard, but I have never seen this type of delamination before.  Otherwise, the ski is perfect for park skiing.

UPDATE: I just bought another pair of these skis, that is how much they rip in the park!
