Description

Ski Superguide 88

The Superguide 88 by Scott is a high performance touring ski. Featuring the same construction as its bigger brother (the Superguide 95), it comes with carbon and kevlar on top of its super light woodcore and loses 7mm at the waist for added lightweight and agility on the snow.

What can the Scott Superguide 88 touring ski do?

If you are into touring (and you probably are if you’re reading these lines) you know the importance of saving weight. Boots, poles, bindings, skis, everything has to be as light as possible so it doesn’t slow you down when you’re skinning up. With this in mind, Scott engineers designed the Superguide 88. It doesn’t matter if you plan a day trip or a long tour that’s going to last a week, the ski deals with both easily and helps you burn less calories than other skis. Incredibly light on the ascents, it feels nimble, holds well in difficult conditions and turns tight. Once you take the skins off, you get a good and lively ski under the feet. Its width and stiffness make it responsive and fun to move around. It inspires confidence and bold skiers will have no trouble picking up speed with it no matter the terrain. It’s also a good option for tech skiers who like to ride in tight conditions, but you will reach its limits on deep powder where it works ok but not great.

Who is the Scott Superguide 88 touring ski designed for?

Nature lovers who spend more time climbing on their skins than laying turns on the downhill are going to love the Superguide 88. It is advisable to have advanced technical skills to control the skis which are incredibly light and efficient through ascents without compromising downhill performance on firm conditions.

Tips and advice

How to choose the length of your skis?

How to choose the size of your piste and all-mountain skis?

What kind of skis should I buy ?

On glisshop.co.uk, you may feel overwhelmed by the amount of products we sell. How can you find the right skis, which ones can suit your level, your style or your budget?

Your options:

1. The advanced search engine: You'll find it everywhere on our website, as a sidebar on our listing pages. It allows you to select conditions and refine your selection: brand, level, style, etc. When you select them, only the relevant products will show.

2. You can contact us on the 020 3129 3301: skis feature fine technologies and affect your safety. It is important to make sure that the skis you've selected will suit you. Call our landline and get in touch with our team for any questions regarding these products.

Do you fit the bindings on skis?

During the process or your order, we'll ask you to complete a form about the mounting of your bindings. With these details, we will be able to mount the bindings with the correct settings. The release value of the bindings is set by a professional skiman, and according to the norm AFNOR FD S 52-748.

If you don't have your own ski boots when you order, the bindings will be pre-mounted. The final settings can be done :

- by a shop if you are renting your ski boots

- by our skiman : you can call us for any technical questions. Our skiman will do the final settings for you. Telephone : 020 3129 3301

Are the skis ready to use?

All skis you purchase on our website are factory-waxed and tuned. This means they are ready to hit the slopes. However, gear tends to wear and in order to keep it in its best shape, you need to maintain base and edges on a regular basis.

Maintaining your skis is essential for a smooth glide and a solit grip. Frequency of maintenance may vary depending on how often you use your skis, or on how damaged they are. We recommend you to wax them every 10 riding days and at the end of the season. Edges need to be tuned up to 2 times per season if you want to keep a good edge control. However, don't overdo it. Tuning is basically scraping off material. If you do it too often, the edges will vanish after some time.

When your base is damaged and shows shallow scratches or rock gouge, it is possible to repair it.

You can get these repairs done by professional ski shop, or if the gouge is only superficial you may repair it yourself. To do so, you will need special tools and materials such as wax, Ptex for repairing bases, edge sharpeners, etc. You can find them on our website.

Is the equipment under guarantee?

All products benefit from a manufacturer guarantee, as long as the damage is caused by a manufacturing defect (may it be hidden or obvious).

Usually, the manufacturer guarantee lasts two years.

Only the manufacturer is able to decide if there has been a 'manufacturing defect' or a 'misuse'. Glisshop is only an intermediary between you and the manufacturer.

The manufacturer's guarantee will not apply if the problem comes from a misuse.
