The Scott Superguide 88 2018 is an impressive touring ski that strikes a great balance between light weight and power.
Though its 88mm waist is not the most powder-focused, the Scott Superguide does extremely well in softer snow. It floats really nicely, it’s light weight allowing for an impressive bouancy that is hugely enjoyable. A very fun ski, the Scott Superguide 88 will definitely be a popular choice for those that love the powder this season.
The waist size does, however, keep it nice and nimble. This is a ski that responds well and likes to show off its energy and power.
