Season:2025/2026

Brand:Scott Wintersports

Code:422878

The Scott Explorair 88 W’s is the perfect blend of technicality, lightness, and pleasure, designed for passionate female skiers who love to explore the mountain in all its facets.

Adapted to female morphologies, this ski combines comfort and performance for those who want to go further with confidence and elegance. The modern and intuitive design offers remarkable versatility. On the ascent, it impresses with lightness and efficiency, while on the descent, it ensures reassuring stability and great responsiveness, even in changing snow or technical terrain.

Its intelligent shape with tapered tip and progressive front rocker facilitates turn initiation and improves manoeuvrability, regardless of the type of snow. The slightly raised tail (rocker M) adds fluidity to the descent and secures the exit of the turn. Its Sandwich Tour construction, with a mixed wood core (paulownia and poplar), is designed to offer a good compromise between light weight and liveliness. The carbon, fibreglass, and Titanal reinforcements ensure robustness, control, and dynamism on all slopes.

Features:

  • Touring Tip and Tail Rocker M
  • Sandwich Tour construction
  • Dual Wood Core (Paulownia/Poplar)
  • Carbon stringers
  • Fibreglass
  • Full length Sidewall
  • Titanal Reinforcement

Ski Buyers Guide

Buying a pair of skis doesn't need to be a daunting experience. When buying a pair of skis, there are a few simple pieces of information that will help you to find your perfect match. With the introduction of carving skis and new technology, ski length is based more on the user’s weight than the tradition of using your height. Combine this with your ski level and your aspirations and this will help narrow your choice very quickly. Follow these simple steps:

STEP 1 - ABILITY

Firstly choose your current skiing level from the list below:

1 - Never skied before3 - Starting to do the odd blue5 - Venturing onto reds, step turns7 - Comfortable skiing most black runs9 - Skiing on/off-piste aggresively
2 - I can snowplough4 - Starting to parallel ski6 - I am getting confident on reds8 - I am confortable on ice + off-piste10 - I am a professional skier or racer

Here at The Skiers Lounge we then brake this down into 4 groups:

NOVICE (1 to 4)INTERMEDIATE (4-6)ADVANCED (6-8)EXPERT (9-10)

STEP 2 - TERRAIN
Now you know your skier level, you can decide where you will mainly be using your new skis:

Groomed Piste RunsAll piste conditionsAll mountain skiing conditionsOff-piste skiing (powder)Ski touring/Freetouring

STEP 3 - SKI LENGTH
For selecting the correct ski length, we take your ability, weight and where you will use the skis, and can calculate an approximate length:


Weight (Metric)Weight (Imperial)Ski Length
Under 50KGUnder 7st 9lb140cm (135cm women)
50 - 56kg7st 9lb - 8st 8lb145cm (140cm women)
57 - 62kg8st 9lb - 9st 7lb150cm (145cm women)
63 - 68kg9st 8lb - 10st 6lb155cm (148cm women)
69 - 75kg10st 7lb - 11st 7lb160cm (152cm women)
76-81kg11st 8lb - 12st 7lb165cm (156cm women)
Over 81kgOver 12st 8lb170cm (163cm women)


STEP 3 - FINAL ADJUSTMENT FOR SKILL LEVEL

The final calculation- For NOVICE skiers, this is your recommended length. For INTERMEDIATE and ADVANCED skiers we recommend adding 5cm to the above measurement, and for EXPERT and PROFESSIONAL skiers you would normally add 10cm to the above length and a little more for freeride skis.
