Hey, does anyone know what the deal is with these skis.  Like i havent heard much about them.  Are they durable and stiff. Do they have a lot of camber.  Are they just a good all-mountain glade/groomer/powder ski?  Thanks.

i skied these in a 181 up in whislter for a day once, it was slushy snow, the tails are freakin metal rods, i didnt like the sidecut that much, they seemed a little too straight for my liking, they are made for pow and bombing big lines that is for sure, but you would get used to the sidecut real quick, they arent really my type of ski but PM me if you are wondering any more

you're thinking p4s for sure.  The p3s carve like beasts, shred, and are basically one of the best jump skis ever.  they are a lil stiff for butters, but they do well in some pow, and all over the mountain.

I just got a pair myself, any suggestions on where I should mount them? I ride almost 100% park besides getting from the park to the chair and the chair back into the park

from what i hear, they are very similar to the misssion, except twin tipped and slightly softer,

mission has been voted ski of the year a couple of times in the past here, id imagine they would be similar to fujis

Scott makes sick skis. Super durable and fun, I loved my P4s before I sold them and moved onto Bacons.

You will not be disappointed.

shredded them today. 184cm, 1 inch back from true center. I'm about 200 lbs and they were still pretty stiff for me, on the first run when i really tried to lean into some carves they kept shooting out on me, but i got used to them (prolly the extra tail that I wasn't used to), and then it was a pretty damn easy ski to ride. SUPER stable, I don't see these getting squirrely on lips, didn't even twitch at high speeds. I didn't get into HL park today, was givin a friends dad a mountain tour, but im lookin forward to chuckin these around in the air. Would reccomend this ski for someone lookin for just one all around pair of skis, or for someone already with a big ass pow ski that wants somethin stable in the park.

light and poppy great for park
but unfortunatly mine are splitting under my boot

its on the verge of snapping in half
but still i loved them while they lasted
RIP my P3's

p3's are not durable. but fun while they last. last weekend i saw an abondoned pair of p3's split in half, completely delaminated on a ski rack, and this friday one of mine started delaming at the tip and a part of the edge is sticking out too.

The p3 is a sick ski for sure, it is super light rips hard, and completely slays jumps. Not the bes rail ski because of stiffness and durability, but the lightness helps for for rails.

I skied mine center mounted and it was a great east coast ski, but they fell apart pretty quick. Both skis actually had the bases peeling away under foot, and scott's warranty took a long time to come through i think it was 8 weeks even before i heard back from them and another 4 before i got my new skis. So beware if you like disastering rails and stomping jumps onto hardpack.
