Scott Scrapper 95 Shaping

Taking a look at the shape, Scott has opted for a very traditional freestyle shape with a true twin design. The rocker profile follows this twinned design with similar amounts of rocker both in the tips and tails. This symmetrical design will help to keep the skis manoeuvrable when they’re in deep snow and when pressed and spun in the park.

“A variety of turns can be produced, depending on how you’re flexing the skis”

The shape stays true to the symmetrical design, with a slightly narrower tail than the tip. Both the tip and tail feature little tapering, which results in a longer turn radius of 19 metres for the 178 cm length. This is an elliptical turn radius, meaning a variety of turns can be produced, depending on how you’re flexing the skis.

By this we mean that when you’re travelling at higher speeds, and flexing the skis, you engage the longer turn radius found in the tips and tails. Whereas when you’re skiing at slower speeds, and lightly flexing the skis, you’re going to initiate the shorter turn radius found directly underfoot.

Who Is The Scott Scrapper 95 For?

The Scrapper offers a super playful shape in a lightning fast construction. If you’re someone who likes to throw their skis around and speed, or an intermediate who would prefer not to ride with an extremely heavy pair of skis, then you’re going to get on with the Scrapper 95. Mount these with a hybrid ski touring binding, like the Salomon Shift, and you’ve got a setup that remains lightweight for touring, yet is a blast on the downhill.
