Scott Punisher (2010)

Nearly every tester had the same thing to say about the Punisher: nimble and playful. It moves quickly from edge to edge and, though it has a tight turn radius, you can still carve long, short, and feathered arcs. Plus: It’s a highly maneuverable ski that’s great for bumps and trees. Minus: With more sidecut than other skis, it tended to get squirrelly at high speeds.
