What Scott says about the SEA 98:
“The SEA 98 skis are all about having fun, no matter your skill level! Whether you're darting through powder, doing tight turns between loaded trees of snow or gracefully carving on the resort, you'll feel like you're in sync with the flow of the design, just like a seahorse in the current. Pivot, twist, turn – you name it! These skis are super smooth to ride as they are made of a poplar wood core going until the very end of the tips – offering maximum flexibility and responsiveness. Thanks to its tip Spin Tech rocker, nose butters are virtually effortless. No matter the snow or weather conditions, Ski Everywhere Anytime!”
