Car fans get fired up over Pirelli girls whilst skiers of the male ilk have long looked forwards to a new seasons Lange girl. Lately Las Vegas bottle-blondes have given way to some seriously talented athletes, especially in the form of World Cup star Julia Mancuso. Hope you enjoy the retro pics, check the boots [...]

Kids versions of the P3 and available in three lengths, 129, 137 and 145 they are a great alternative for kids who want to do something more than batter down gates.
It’s a few years since Scott originally launched a twin-tipped ski, then it was a skinny park ski, what marks this mid-fat out is the quality of finish and construction, hopefully they’ll be like this if you rent them, but they are very capable, have good kick and a very useable sidecut that makes [...]
Hugely popular with testers in Italy this year, the Aztec is a mix of Freeride and carver that has a strong construction that grips into hard snow even though there you have a 78mm base. Good intermediates can ski these, but advanced and experts will get the most out of them and will [...]
A sturdy horse for riding over rough ground or so says my dictionary when referring to a “roadster”, perhaps things have moved on a little, but the XP is tries to be a do all ski for the majority of levels. A generous sidecut and reasonable girth of 68mm under the boot centre [...]
A great piste performer that is a quite narrow 63mm underfoot, this will give very quick edge change and feel very frisky on your feet. There is a relatively wide shovel that swoops into turns and carves cleanly and boldly on all snow types, fast, fun and very competent, good for red run [...]
Modestly named but actually a very accomplished ski, a great friend and pisteur (ski patroller) in Val d’Isere was a tester for Scott and used a pair of these all last season. They look like a mix of Salomon Prolink technology mated to a Fischer slalom ski, there is a lot of shape [...]
A true slalom carver, or sport carver for top intermediates to lighter experts, the XS shares the same shape as the Genius but without the torsional control Prolink’s or the racier 3D construction. Great red run skier’s ski who wants to progress quickly and get some snap and life into their turns, also [...]
The Scott Neo was one of our favourites at the Meribel Ski tests. An addition rather than a replacement for the much vaunted Aztec Pro the Neo is a cruisy, fun and easy gripping ski for the advanced to expert skier. With a whole load of powder off the sides the Neo’s just bounded through [...]
