Scott P3 Alpine Ski - 2008 BCS

I broke my first pair of P3's..the edge delaminated...but I loved their flex and weight so much that I bought another pair. I will say this...it is not necessarily Scott's fault that this ski delaminated. I broke my wrist and ended up finishing my season only sliding rails and not jumping too much. I literally hit thousands of rails..it is no surprise that a skis edge delaminates after that kind of abuse. During the time that I was not on P3's I had to ski on some fairly crappy park skis that were way too soft. I actually started moving backwards, in terms of progression when I had to switch skis. Then I bought another pair of P3's. Perfect stiff flex. Great weight. I caught right back up to where I was and even started progressing my park skiing again. I highly recommend these skis.

I am way too old for the park, but use these skis for all-mountain versatility. Light and stiff--a winning combination. I am 65 years old, and just can't muscle my skis like I used to (bye-bye Volkl). But these babies have made skiing fun again. Very forgiving even when I get lazy at the end of the day. These have got to be the most under-rated skis in the industry; I'm glad I stumbled on them. By the way, the photo doesn't clearly show the graphics--there are long streaks that look like a grizzly bear tore up the paint. I can't say I'm crazy about the appearance of these boards, but I'm wild about their performance.

I mounted these up as my patrol ski for this season. One of the best skis I have ever been on. I normally kill a pair of skis in a season, these barely look used! The are great in every condition so far(on the east coast) The only day I didn't take em out was our 4' pow day, the hold great on hard pack, and rip through the crud and corn. I took a gamble on these and ended up with BlackJack......I would highly recommend these, especially for a tele skier!!
I am 6'5" about 195 lbs and skiing on the 184's, so far about 30 days on them

This ski is awesome. When I first got it, I felt like it was super stiff, and I was skiing pretty crud/spring conditions at snowbird. It handled the entire mountain really well because of how stiff it is. Now that skiing has started again, I am skiing this ski on rails at Park city. The thing I now notice about this ski is that it is super poppy. Even though it is stiff, it is a really playful ski. It is pretty hard to nose butter this ski because of its stiff flex pattern, but it really is a sick, underrated ski.
