The 2025 Scott SEA 116 is a powder-hungry freeride ski that blends big-mountain stability with freestyle flair. As the widest model in Scott’s new “Ski Everywhere Anytime” (SEA) lineup, it’s designed for skiers who want to charge deep snow, stomp big landings, and still have the freedom to slash, spin, and play their way down the mountain.
At 116mm underfoot, the SEA 116 is built for soft snow but doesn’t feel like a one-trick pony. It features a full-length poplar wood core for a lively, energetic feel, and a Titanal sheet underfoot that adds dampness and power where it counts—especially when landing drops or blasting through chop. Scott’s 3D SpinTech rocker in the tip and tail gives the ski a spoon-like shape, making it easy to pivot, smear, and stay loose in deep conditions. The tail rocker is slightly more pronounced than in the narrower SEA models, giving it a more freestyle-friendly feel for switch landings and playful maneuvers.
On snow, the SEA 116 feels surprisingly nimble for its size. It floats effortlessly in powder, pivots quickly in tight trees, and holds its line when you want to open it up. The ski’s moderate flex—softer in the tips and tails, stiffer underfoot—lets you butter and press when the mood strikes, but still provides the stability needed for high-speed descents and big airs. It’s a ski that encourages creativity without sacrificing control.
Compared to other skis in its class, the SEA 116 stands out for its blend of playfulness and power. It’s more freestyle-oriented than the Nordica Enforcer 110 Free, but more stable and directional than the Armada ARV 116 JJ. It’s a great choice for skiers who want a powder ski that can handle both big lines and playful terrain features.
For skiers looking for a versatile powder ski that doesn’t compromise on performance or fun, the Scott SEA 116 delivers. It’s a ski that thrives in deep snow but remains adaptable enough to handle a variety of conditions and terrain. Whether you’re dropping cliffs, slashing wind lips, or navigating tight trees, the SEA 116 is ready to take you there with style and confidence.
