The Scott SEA 98 is an alpine ski designed for skiers who want to break free from the boundaries between different types of terrain. Its name speaks for itself: SEA, which stands for “Ski Everywhere Anytime,” perfectly encapsulates the philosophy behind this freeride- and all-mountain-oriented model. With a waist width of 98 mm, it’s aimed at intermediate to advanced skiers who want to explore groomed runs as well as off-piste areas and light powder runs. It promises a smooth, responsive, and accessible ride across a wide variety of snow conditions.
The Scott SEA 98 is part of a freeride-oriented alpine ski line with a clear all-mountain focus. It’s at home on open slopes, in less-traveled couloirs, and during short ascents. Its 98 mm waist width provides enough float in fresh snow to prevent the ski from sinking, while remaining maneuverable on groomed sections of the trail. This ski is designed for skiers who want the freedom to choose their terrain throughout the day without changing gear.
The SEA 98’s dimensions are as follows: 133 mm at the tip, 98 mm at the waist, and 122 mm at the tail. This profile, which is slightly narrower at the tail than at the tip, promotes crisp turn initiation and a natural release out of the turn. The turning radius, ranging from 12 m to 18 m depending on the length chosen, allows for a series of medium-radius turns, suitable for both technical descents and off-piste traverses. The 180 cm length corresponds to a 17 m radius, a value that allows for dynamic skiing without sacrificing control.
The Scott SEA 98’s profile features Spin Tech rocker, a 3D technology developed specifically for this line. This rocker is integrated into both the tip and tail, reducing the contact surface with the snow at both ends of the ski. In practice, this facilitates turns, smooths out edge transitions, and enhances maneuverability in a variety of snow conditions. In powder, the raised tip prevents the ski from sinking and improves float. In groomed snow or variable conditions, the rockered tail allows for freer rotation and makes the ski feel lighter to handle.
The SEA 98’s construction combines several complementary elements, the key points of which are as follows:
This total weight of 1,900 g (per pair) underscores this model’s focus on lightness and maneuverability—a significant advantage on long outings or routes that combine ascents and descents.
The Scott SEA 98 is particularly well-suited as a versatile ski for intermediate to advanced skiers seeking a single pair capable of meeting their needs from morning to afternoon, from groomed runs to off-piste snow. Its rocker profile, lightweight construction, and 98 mm width make it a reliable companion for days on the slopes, regardless of terrain.
