Mission accomplished.

By Rob de Luca October 10, 2008

I am 5ft 10, 165lbs, and this review is for the 07/08 183cm Missions (same as 08/09, different graphic) mounted around +1 with Salomon S914s. I usually ski the Scott P4 (also an amazing ski) but borrowed a pair of these for a month last spring, and they were a real surprise. For such light skis, they are very stable and confidence-inspiring. The wide, early-rise shovel design (Scott calls it Pro Tip) keeps them from deflecting in crud, and while they don't lay down arcs quite like the P4s, they are quicker in bumps and tight spots. Pretty floaty in pow, too, though I didn't bring them out on really deep days. A great spring choice for the Intermountain West, and would make a fine east coast pow/crud ski but wouldn't be my #1 pick for icy steeps. With an AT setup, they'd kill it. Wish I still had them.
