Scott Superguide 88 tested by The Pill

Stable, durable and lightweight, the Superguide 88 is the perfect ski for multi-day trips or day adventures with challenging descents

The Superguide 88s represent true excellence in touring skis because of their ability to deliver an outstanding skiing experience both uphill and downhill. Lightness during ascent is a key issue for touring skiers, as it reduces fatigue and makes the ascent more efficient. This ski achieves such lightness thanks to its ultralight paulonia wood core, which is a material known for its strength and light weight. On the descent, when grip is essential to convey confidence and performance, Superguide 88s make all the difference. Here, the use of carbon and aramid fibers comes into play giving the ski extraordinary stability and responsiveness and making them suitable for even the most extreme situations. The design of the 3Dimension Touring Sidecut is another element that contributes to solidity, offering precision in every arc of a turn and during corner changes. In summary, the Superguide 88 is a ski that has skillfully combined the light weight needed for ascent with the stability and grip required for descent, making it the ideal choice for touring enthusiasts seeking a perfect balance between uphill and downhill performance.
