BIG MOUNTAIN
With plenty of snow to push around during testing at Utah’s Powder Mountain, people didn’t wait long to dig in with Scott’s fattest ski. The general consensus: Most felt its name is somewhat misleading. “Lively … Stay forward and let the rockered tips plow over anything,” said one tester. Others found it nimble to the point of being squirrelly in tight trees yet hard-charging in the deep wide-open. Of course, all that mojo comes at a price: It’s the heaviest ski here. 141/119/133, 10.3 lbs;
