“ This is a pretty kick-ass ski. It's kind of like a really wide GS ski (96mm underfoot.) It's at its most natural going really fast on firmer off-piste snow. It will do short-radius turns, but it has to be muscled a bit and it's not necessarily pretty. Moguls are a lot of work. On groomed slopes, it holds a carve almost as well as my GS skis, but it's definitely slower edge-to-edge. In...” --AndrewSwitch

“ Lovely ski
I am a 43 yo 175 cm, 80 kg, fit and reasonable aggressive lifelong skier, level 9, recreational racer and part time ski patroller. Demoed 178 and 186 2010 Gotama's. Purchased the 186's. Mounted Volkl boot centre. Went for the 186's as I found they turned as sharply as the shorter length but were more stable at speed. Perhaps if had mounted a bit forward would have had more tail for...” --GuyB

The Scott P4 is a High performing all mountain ski that forgives variable terrain and skier errors. Hitting a wide open groomer on a bluebird day at high speeds effortlessly smiling into every simply executed turn. The soft tip and slightly early rise sucks in the terrain and sends it right to that titanium underfoot, initiating a securely executed foot placement and transition into the...” --drbumps

“I tried them as a demo several times this year at Jay Peak. The ski inspired confidence in powder and allowed turns of all sizes with ease. I was able to experience powder skiing at Jay like never before. Smearing and all other powder type manouveres happened naturally where other wide wasted skis required more experience that I did not have and work to accomplish. The ski has a fairly durable...” --jmcosmo65

Just returned from a 3 resort trip to Japan where I skied for 17 days on my new 178cm Cham 97s ). Snow varied from bottomless powder (50 inches in 36 hrs in one snow event!) to icey groomers. We had fresh snow (from 6 inches to waay more) on 12 of the 17 days so soft snow and powder performance was well and truly tested. Japan is legendary for its deep powder and uncrowded resorts so fresh...” --malibu

I've skied these at 177cm for a little over a week in packed dry powder, fresh heavy powder, groomers and crud. I'm male, 6' 1" and weigh around 210lbs.
They were great in about 12" - 18" of fresh powder, stable and with good float, no diving like the older Mantras, probably because of the tip rocker. In crud they were quite acceptable but they didn't power through it to the...” --Snodayz

“First some vital stats about the skier: I am 5′10″, about 160lbs, age 24, and I have the 179s. They are mounted with Salomon Z12s (soon to be Marker Griffons) on the recommended line.Dimensions: Tip: 133 Waist: 100 Tail: 124 I have been skiing since I was roughly 9 or 10 years old, and I can now ski just about anything on the mountain. My focus has definitely shifted toward the big mountain...” --mordy07

“Just spent the day demoing some 185 Enforcers, and ended up buying them. I'm 6'1 190lbs, and I thought the 185s were a bit much to lug through the trees in the heavier powder so I went with the 177s, hopefully I won't be giving up anything on the groomers. The 185s ripped it on the groomers, and I was pretty surprised how easy it was to keep the tips up in the powder. Its going to be tough for...” --evbart

Arnie was right, Flipcore works, Period. How could such a simple idea be so effective in redefining how a ski is made? Amazing. At 108mm underfoot, minimal camber with early rise is the tip and tail makes the sweetspot very well the largest in this segment. If you have a tendency to get thrown around in heavy crud and muck conditions, the Cochise needs to on your short list of skis....” --Philpug
