SCOTT- ALL IN: Parts 1 and 2

Each new season brings opportunity for success as well as failure. The path is uncertain, and the destination is unknown, but the goal is always constant: to search and discover the right place at the right time. Some may call it luck while others recognize that fortunes are nurtured by preparation and perseverance. The willingness to drop everything on a moment’s notice and travel great distances without hesitation only strengthens the conviction, the mission, and the person. At times there may be hardship and injury to overcome. However patience is the foundation of clarity when all variables align and, for a precious few moments in time, you are allowed to follow your instinct and commit.

Suddenly, there is no turning back and the decision has been make to go ALL-IN.

ALL IN Part One :
Focuses on athletes, Sam Cohen and Corey Felton, as they discover that the best plans are never actually planned. Warmer than normal temperatures during the 2014-15 season forced the crew to abandon the Powder Highway and search for higher elevation in a remote corner of the Idaho backcountry. Blessed with stable conditions in an otherwise notoriously volatile snowpack, the crew methodically warms-up before tackling a number of legitimate big mountain descents. ”This is all part of the process,” admits Sam Cohen, “…you got to work your way up the ladder, cause every turn is training for Alaska.”

ALL IN Part Two : Enter the Chilkat Range (AK)
Part 2 showcases standout performances by Dane Tudor and Sam Cohen as they inspire each other to challenge themselves in the ultimate proving grounds, Alaska. Jagged, snow covered peaks collide with the deep blue ocean as these comrades work together creating a common bond in a land of sheer beauty and terror. Maintaining confidence while standing alone on top of a massive peak in a remote location requires a high level of self-confidence, and a special mentality earned through dedication and commitment. ”There comes a point when nothing else matters but what you truly believe in” according to Tudor, ”and for me that time is now.

Best All Mountain Skis (<100 Underfoot)

From Powder Magazine

How many days a year do you actually need to be on a ski fatter than 100 millimeters underfoot? Five? These so-called skinny skis were perfectly wide for skiing powder 10 years ago. Do you really want to clomp around on those clankers when it’s dust on crust and we’re skiing a hot zipper lap? The best part about these skis is that most of them come with metal—you won’t find floppy Donkey Ball Rocker here—which means they’re going to make some actual turns, and make them fast. And fast is fun. These sticks are going to get you into trouble. And getting into trouble? Also fun.

Sagebrush

Skier’s Choice Description

With the new Sagebrush as your transport of choice, get ready to shred like the ski’s inspiration—hot-dogger Bobbie Burns, who used pieces of sagebrush, believing the bush was indestructible, as part of his original The Ski. No scratchy plants in this Sagebrush, however, but it does feature an elliptical-shaped, sandwich-laminate wood construction that runs the length of the ski. This lightens the load while maintaining torsional stiffness. With 320 millimeters of tip rocker and 1940 grams of weight per ski (in the 178), this snappy shredstick made my top five skis of Powder Week. It rails on piste, skis proficiently in bumps and packed powder, and is meant for the groomers of your dreams, aka Sun Valley’s Upper College to Warm Springs.

—JOHN STIFTER

Features

Pro-Tip Rocker, 3Dimension Sidecut, Full Ski-Length Wood Core, Elliptic Core

Manufacturer’s Description

New For 2015-16, Scott proudly introduces the Sagebrush. Inspired by its siblings in the Sun Valley collection, The Ski and Black Majic, Sagebrush offers the same innovative technology, but on a wider platform. At 100-millimeters underfoot, the Sagebrush can handle any condition any day of the week.

Punisher 95

Skier’s Choice Description

The Punisher 95 is incredibly quick edge to edge. With a 3D sidecut and 12-meter radius, these bad boys slashed everything with ease. Not only did it make those quick corners, it was very playful. I found myself loading the tails and popping off anything I could find. With a full wood core and sandwich sidewall construction, the Punisher is a bomber ski for those looking for a solid ride in variable to hardpack conditions, with plenty of park laps to boot. They were proven worthy in the steep tree stashes, which got ripped up during Powder Week.

—JED DONNELLY

Features

Twin-Tip Rocker, 3Dimension Sidecut, Full Ski-Length Wood Core

Manufacturer’s Description

New for 2015-16, the Scott Punisher 95 delivers the proven performance of the Punisher 110 on a narrower platform. A progressive, all-mountain ski, the Punisher 95 features twin-tip rocker technology that brings the award-winning punisher series to the front-side setting.
