Ed Scott started his company in 1958 in the ski Mecca Sun Valley in Idaho, U.S.A. With particularly lightweight aluminium ski poles, Ed Scott caught the attention of his competition, which was still producing poles made from wood and steel and had them quivering in their ski boots. What began with Ed’s light poles, has evolved over half a century to sporting equipment that has revolutionized the ski and cycling industry with unaccountable breakthrough designs and then as now with sustainable influence.
Among the brand’s most impressive products was the first Aero handlebar for road cycling – that brought USA cycling legend Greg Lemond to victory in the 1989 Tour de France.
Meanwhile, Scott has expanded its ski and bike expertise to an extensive ski touring know-how. With the acquisition of Garmonts ski boot division, Scott has also become one of the first brands to become a full-range ski supplier on the market. In addition to skis and ski boots, Scott also manufactures innovative ski wear and accessories and tirelessly inspires the professional world anew every year with innovative products.
Ski boots and so much more
