Scott designed the twintip Punsher Alpine Skis to dominate all mountain terrain whether you ride forward or switch. The Punisher's hardwood core and racing heritage sidewall provide unmatched stability and edge hold on hardpack, but leave out the metal sheets of a true race ski for forgiveness in soft snow and on hard landings. With a wide shovel and mid-fat waist, the Punisher is as happy landing switch in the park as it is dropping pillows in the trees.
Bottom Line: Scott's Punisher is an all-mountain mid-fat ski with switch riding versatility.
I was looking for a good all-around resort ski, and tried about 5 different skiis. These were hands down the best- stable at speed, they would sink in their teeth when you needed it in the steeps, not squirreley maching down corduroy, and still nimble enough to dart between moguls. I wound up using them on a 2 day catskiing trip, and they were grreat in powder, too; of course most skiis are good in hero snow. In manky springtime backcountry crud, I'd probably use a much fatter ski, but in any other conditions, I'd be happy with these.
Snatch these pigs up before they go! at the price - these skis provide the ultimate 1 quiver ski. just got back from 20+ inch Colorado day and these pigs out performed my wildest expectations. The fat shovel and mid fat was provided for enough float that made the day killer. However, I knew it would be a long lasting relationship when after lunch when everything was turning into chop chop these guys stepped up their game and brought in the choppiest of conditions. One warning YOU better be on your A Game as these are not skis for sally's and they are not name the Punishers for no reason.
Searched a lot for skis before buying these. And they are just what I was hoping for. Very stable, especially coming out of the air. Will handle any condition, except the REALLY deep stuff (get some line Prophet 130s for that). And they may be a bit stiff and heavy for a great mogul ski. In fact, if they have a drawback, it's the weight. But they are great everywhere else. They're my go to ski and I do love them. Any questions, just ask...
