Description of Scott Mission Alpine Ski: |
|
Billed as an all-mountain mid-fat performer, the Scott Mission does anything but disappoint. Thanks to Scott’s dual-radius sidecut, this deceptively light ski can carve up groomers with authority, making short or long turns at any speed. When you get bored, point it away from the corduroy for some chute bagging, zipperlining and crud-busting, or find some hidden pow stashes in the trees under the cliffs. At 90mm underfoot in its longest length, the Mission looks slender next to the newest crop of fatties, but it planes quickly and is forgivingly predictable in powder thanks to an early-rising, early-tapering Pro Tip Pre-Track profile. We know it sounds cliché, but seriously: if you are an advanced skier, this ski will do anything short of bashing gates and dropping 30-footers with surprising ease. If you only have the cash, time, or space in your closet for one pair of sticks, and you aren’t a heli guide by profession, the Mission is a great pick.
Bottom Line: The Mission makes it all possible.

| Great Ski 01-20-09 |

| This is a great ski. I am 155 lb / 5'8" expert skier. I bought the 178 and mounted Fritschi Freerides. I was a bit concerned about the length, but in fact, they are exactly the same length as the K2 Outlaws they replace / supplant. I've skied them about 6-7 days, mostly groomed / hard pack because of lack of snow here in the Sierras. They are not quite as stable as the Outlaws on the hard stuff, and in fact chatter quite a bit when you edge firmly on packed snow. However, they turn easily, and carve beautifully, and in the few chances I've had to venture off piste (1 foot powder, and some serious sun-softened mashed potatoes) they skied beautifully, floating nicely, responding quickly, and despite their lightness, cutting through the crud and heavy stuff without hesitation. They beat the Outlaws off piste, I think, and are neck and neck on piste in all but the very hardest snow. Glad I got 'em. |

| I'm 5-11 175lb got the 183 mounted with Naxo nx21 AT bindings. Perfect size for me. These skis have an incredibly aggressive sidecut for a fatter ski, so in comparison to say a mantra, they are quicker to initiate a turn and can turn a sharper radius. On the downside of that quickness is a little bit of twitch on high speed runouts.. I love these skis, they carve the hardpack, rip through crud, and have no problems in the bumps... a great all mountain ski - If you like to turn!-.. I definitely don't feel comfortable letting them run full speed, as they tend to get the speed wobbles big time. I've also found that on the super hard pack they tend to chatter a bit if I'm really laying into a carve. This is probably partially due to the 90m waist, and may also have something to do with the play in the Naxo bindings. Overall, I think these are great skis they do what they are supposed to, and are a blast to ski!! |

| 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. |
