2016/2017 WINTER LOOKBOOK NO SHORTCUTS
SCOT T WINTERSPORTS Like the modest champion sitting in the corner listening as others spit their egos all over each other, SCOTT quietly lets its achievements, its victories, its skills speak for themselves. We don’t make products for those who yearn to be noticed. We make them for those who are going to do what they do whether there’s anyone watching or not. If you’re like us, you say what you say, do what you do, ski where you ski because you love it. You do it the right way. You do it for the right reasons. 2

WE ARE INNOVATORS SINCE 1958, SCOTT SPORTS HAS PUSHED THE LIMITS OF INNOVATION, TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN. FROM THE FIRST ALUMINUM SKI POLE, TO THE INTRODUCTION OF OUR LATEST SKI BOOT, FEATURING GORE-TEX ®. COMBINING ENDLESS DETERMINATION
1958 THE SKI POLE REVOLUTION It all starts with one man’s vision of a better ski pole. Ed Scott’s invention of the first tapered aluminum ski pole immediately replaces the sport’s existing use ofbamboo and steel, catapulting SCOTT Sports to aproduct leader in the skiing market.
TO IMPROVE WITH THE METHODICAL INTRICACY PUT INTO EACH PRODUCT, SCOTT PREPARES ATHLETES TO REACH THEIR HIGHEST POTENTIALS, AND ALLOWING THEM TO STAY CONFIDENT WHEN THEY GO BACKCOUNTRY.

2004
SCOTT WINS EUROPEAN SKI AWARD WITH THE BIOMEX ® HELMET Created in cooperation with Biomex ® Protection, this helmet was a big step forward for head safety in wintersports. The Biomex featured a Dual Band Roll Cage (rectangular shape), which reduced the swing weight and made it more comfortable to wear.
2013
LCG GOGGLES ADAPT YOUR VISION Plenty of companies have developped goggles with technology alowing for lens swapping, but SCOTT Sports was the first to create a serious product benefit with a system that enabled quick changing with just one hand and no contact with the lens face.

WORLD’S LIGHTEST SKI BOOT
WINTER APPAREL & SKIS ARRIVE
When SCOTT Sports decided that a boot could be lighter, stiffer and more comfortable all at once, the design and testing process went hundreds of rounds of trial and error, tinkering and tweaking. All in an effort to create a ski boot that lived up to athletes’ expectactions.
SCOTT Sports introduces a technical wintersport apparel line and begins the production of skis.

2014

HUBERT COUTTET (FRA): Head of Patrol, Chamonix
“Our job as the Ski Patrol in Chamonix can be stressful and frightening, but to ensure our guests’ safety is a wonderful feeling. We have now been a partner of SCOTT for more than 10 years and it is very cool to see that our feedback is used directly in the development and evolution of the new products.”

STEFAN HÄUSL (AUT): Hearing is one of the most important senses used when skiing. Often times when wearing a helmet, it is diicult to know from where a particular sound is coming from. This can afect your balance, communication with others and can lead to uncertainty- things you don’t want when in the mountains. With SCOTT’s 360° sound it is much easier to analyze where the sound is coming from, giving you much more conidence out in the mountain.

Mike drove through 10 dif ferent countries to f inally reach Skardu, Pakistan where Mike and his team star ted their most challenging ascension yet. A s with all the other climbs t h e y h a v e d o n e t o g e t h e r, t h i s a s c e n t w a s d o n e a l p i n e s t y l e without high altitude por ters or additional ox ygen. Mike a n d Fr e d ’s g o a l w a s t o r e a c h t h e s u m m i t and attempt a world f irst by skiing down the technical faces of K2. Due to elevated amounts dangerous conditions at h i g h a l t i t u d e (t o o m u c h s n o w, h i g h a v a l a n c h e d a n g e r a n d s t r o n g w i n d s) t h e e x p l o r e r s w e r e s t o p p e d a n d h a d t o t u r n b a c k , u n f o r t u n a t e l y, b u t a r e s a f e a n d s o u n d w h i c h i s m o r e impor tant than any thing else.
“This year K2 didn’t open its doors and windows to us...but such is life, if you don’t try, you’ll never know.”
“Let’s just say it’s a challenging commute to work. I normally don’t use motorised vehicles on my adventures, but in this case, the vehicles allowed me to discover the remote lands that I have not yet had the opportunity to explore. I am looking forward to witnessing the drastic changes in scenery and to meet locals and hear their stories along my journey.” 37
“Last night I was sitting in front of my tent looking up at the mountain that stamped its effect on my life.”
