i have some 07/08's and they are quite stiff skis, they are nice and poppy and can butter if you really throw your weight into them, i have had no durability issues with them, the edges are great, the bases hold up nicely and the topsheets have stayed pretty nice and clean with little damage. in my profile i have pictures of mine that i am selling, minus the bindings if anyone wants to take a look.

Aside from this, all posts have been crap so far. 

I actually think they are great skis.  They are a lot of fun and a good overall park ski.  So far every other info in this thread is speculative.  If you find a good deal pull the trigger.

Says the asshat with the fulltilt icon, seriously... Your ignorance is astounding. In regards to the op, I quite like mine, 08/09, they're fairly stiff but still fun. They hold an edge real nice, and are super fun to cruise around on in general. I made the mistake of not detuning my edges before skiing rails which has come back to bite me, multiple cracks, but oh well great skis overall. Now returning to the notion that owning Scott skis somehow means you would be interested in felating the "king of afterbang." I find it interesting that the hoard of line ski(or jiberish, or saga, or any other popular brand) faithful on this site see no irony in making this accusation while simultaniously mindlessly gobbling up whatever these companies put out..... A long overdue rant, Sincerely, Dallasc

stiff=poppy, and with the continuous flex pattern on them you can butter them, it's just not as easy as noodle skis.  I think they're the stiffest park ski on the market atm but it's not unbelievably stiff.

I dident say they wherent okay skis but I feel they didn't really fit my ridding style.
If your looking for a good stiff ski to ski all over the mountain but mostly park they may be the right choice for you.

I think its funny, Scott skis were not talked about very much at all in previous seasons, but now that Tom Wallisch is on Scott, they are very popular now.

mhhmmmm. it's not like any great ski brands took off like that. oh wait...

who cares who they have sponsored.  That gets the name out there, then more people will try that brand's skis, and more reviews will be let out.  If they're good reviews then the company will do good, if not then plenty of retarded kids will buy that one pair anyways.  The reviews have been pretty good, but what I don't get is why they don't really mess with much rocker or reverse sidecut in their skis much.
