Tester and test conditions
I am 178 cm tall, weigh around 65 kg, ski sportily and also go on the odd ski tour. However, a proper descent is always my priority. A Fritschi Vipec was mounted on the recommended mounting point.
The ski was used on a total of around 20 ski days and a handful of ski tours between 600 and 1500 vertical meters.
The conditions in which the Scrapper was tested were as varied as the winter in the Western Alps. The ski spent most days in hard and tracked terrain. Overall, however, it can handle everything from rutted couloirs to treeruns in fresh snow and turned out to be quite an all-rounder.
First impression
The first thing that stands out is, of course, the low weight. At just 1700 grams per ski, the ski is really very light for its width. When flexing, you can immediately feel the harder flex and the stiffness, which I would not have expected with the shape. The ski immediately makes a high-quality impression. I find the design simple and appealing. The rather insensitive ski surface also stands out positively.
The Scrapper has a solid inner life made from a Paulownia core that runs through the entire ski. The advantage of paulownia wood is that it is very light and stiff and still retains a natural flex. The ski has also been skied on days with little snow and, despite its lightweight construction, has survived some major stone contact without an edge being torn out immediately...
