The P4 Secret

By Rob de Luca December 3, 2008

I picked up my P4's last year, never having skied a Scott ski in my life, and was totally blown away. What impressed me off the bat was the way you can really whip them around in tight trees, but then open it up and just hammer through a rough run-out like you're on something much straighter, heavier and stiffer. The fact that they carve groomers better than any fat ski since the 4x4 Big is icing on the cake. The "secret" is the metal sandwich that doesn't go all the way out to the tip or tail; soft ends make them forgiving and super floaty, but the Titanal keeps them stiff underfoot. Think "Gotama with a crust-busting extra high gear" and you have the P4 in a nutshell. I think this is probably one of the single best Western skis currently available, and the only reason you don't see more of them is that Scott has limited distribution in the United States.
