Scott Ski Boots: Superlights, Superhots - Page 2

Hi

I have a pair of Scott Supper Hot large size in very good condition. Black & white.

Bought the boots while on a club ski trip to Vail in 1977 or 78.

The club name is YULSKI. Based in Montreal. A group of 28 made the trip. We had a great time lots of power!!

I had a pair of Tecnica boots that cut my forward shin, my heal would lift up loose control & wipe out ETC...

I ended up in the local ski shop & had the boots fitted. I have enjoyed using the boots for several years their after.

One upper strap broke on a day of minus 20 F while skying/club race in the Quebec Laurentions. I just used a piece of aluminum & rivets to splice the strap back together.

The strap is still holding up today. About 10 years ago is the last time I have used the Scott  Supper Hot Ski Boot. 

Drop me an Email if some one is interested in the Ski Boots.

Looking for a pair of  Scott "B" uppers for Scott ski boots.
 

Re: Looking for Scott Superlight B upper. I failed to mention that my Scott boots are a Medium lower shell. I actually have three pairs, one pair is the first generation and the other two are the newer or later models.

Scott's were my 2nd pair of boots owned, which I bought back in the mid 70's. They were 1st generation Scott's and other than causing heel spurs (from an incorrect fit) I really enjoyed skiing them. After breaking these two or three years later, I subequently bought newer pairs which all were the latter generation boots. Candidly, I'd never had an interest in any other boot during  my ensuing 20 years of skiing.

After about a 10 year hiatis from the snow, I began skiing again. Having thrown out my last and only pair of Scott's, I began demoing present day ski boots. While I loved skiing the new parabolic skiis, I was constantly dissapointed by the lumbering, heavy and uncomfortable boots marketed and sold today. After trying countless models with little to no improvement, I realized none of them gave me the same sense of secure fit or the experience of high performance that I found inherent in Scott's. Unfortunately, I threw out my last and only pair years ago.

Long story short, I've bought three pairs of vintage Scott boots online and am very much looking forward to using them again. Yes, all three pair of boots came with the "A" upper (beggars can't be choosy) and "B" uppers would be more preferable.

That's my story.

this was the top model of Scott's.

I skied those boots for a couple of years, approximately '76 to '81.  i loved them. it was the perfect boot for absolute precision and control.  i skied better then i ever did in any other boot.  lateral and rearward stiffness were absolute.  forward flex was variable and adjustable--a function of tightening the top buckle. They were comfortable, too.  One of the best features was that, with one quick click of the buckle, forward lean could be adjusted dramatically, from powder to Slalom.  the lightness made for quick feet, which is why ballet and mogul competitors skied them.

then i gained some weight, and the boot fitter couldn't get them to fit anymore (i shouldn't have given up so quickly, and certainly not have thrown them out during some later move).

this boot design must have been a complete nightmare for the boot fitter.  My Zermatt boot store stopped carrying them quickly.

i must have been lucky to not ski in cold weather while i had them, since i remember them to be warm and they didn't crack, which they were said to be prone to.

I think the design should be tried again, given advances in materials and boot warming technologies.  the design is so simple that the price point should be at half of current boots.
