Scott Slight 93 review 2018
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
Let’s be honest; the Slight 93 proposed by Scott is not a true All Mountain front ski and, despite its qualities, it struggles in this category. Its shape and behavior betray its classic trail origins. So it’s no surprise that the ski is very happy on the groomed slopes where it’s great at everything: turn initiation, turn performance, bite, etc. It really excels in short turns. Sheer bliss. On the other hand, because of the small waist (93 mm), the short size of the model tested (175 cm for 180-185cm requested) and its highly carved shape, its behaviour in freeride fell far short of the champions in this category. In other words, it’s a pleasant, easy ski, with a playful nature that deserves a very good place in the All Mountain back category... and it’s amazing when there are a few centimetres of fresh powder on the slopes.
Review: Pros
- Excellent performance on the piste
- User-friendly
- Good grip
- A light ski
- Nimble
Review: Cons
- The highly carved shape hampers performance in freeride,
- Tendency to oversteer
