NEW! The definitive do-it-all ski of the past five years has been fiddled with... it's had a lightened core offset by extra metal in the tail to give it a bit more shove out of turns and nudge it into our Freeride category. The shape and radius stay the same, as does the uncanny way it still handles anything. Let's admire them in the queue - my, what a deep gloss. Maybe you're mounting touring bindings - it's light enough. Women get the Rosa; with shorter lengths. For strong progressive skiers and upwards, the Scott Mission ownership experience just got better, which makes it the 2010/11 Runner Up Ski of the Year.
