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. Thanks to this agility, we felt very confident on the Scott Superguide 88, without feeling like we would be caught short if we were to end up in tougher conditions or in a tight spot.
