Scott featured in our very first Pure Demo Days ski test, and the standouts skis from the range that year were the XP Roadster (terrific value) along with the bigger Santiago Mission and Aztec. Thankfully both the bigger skis return this year.
Let’s be honest - In a world that is crammed full of fat twins, rocker cambers and bamboo cores it can take something special to draw any attention. The new "New Crusair" stood out for us.
