Manufacturer's comment:
Free ride ski with rocker and Venturi Technology. The Venturi tip rocker design effectively reduces the pressure on the ski in deep snow. Simultaneously, the rocker technology raises the shovel above the snow surface – all this results in a versatile ski that delivers best performance under different conditions.
Tester's comments:
The Venture is built for free ride specialists. On the slope its driving characteristics are very good, but the true strengths are showing while plowing through the snow away from the slopes. Through its trendy design the Scott scores not only in its target group, but also in the rest of the test community: he wins the bronze medal in the Snow Style.
