Scott G2 110 Powerfit

The G2 110 continues to get better no matter what badge it wears (It was formerly a Garmont until Scott bought the company two seasons ago). This 110 is one of the most agile, reactive boots on the market according to testers who yet again found little fault here.

The G2 remains a stripped down, fundamental performance boot. There’s not much feature glitz but there is plenty of on-snow glamour. Testers liked the way the G2 generated plenty of edge power and elicited immediate response from the ski. The flex is firm (stronger than its marked 110) but evenly distributed against the shin with a springy quality that invites dynamic fall line skiing.

The lower fits a little short, is a little narrow in the forefoot and runs a touch low over the top of the foot. It’s more contained that most other narrows which makes this a perfect nest for a low volume foot. That foot should probably be attached to a fairly slender lower leg too, as the calf fit is tight with the rear spoiler installed even with buckles on their lightest settings.

Keep in mind that the G2's new liner is a fully heat moldable Ultralon EVA design, which will significantly relax the fit as needed once its formed to the foot and shell. Testers liked this improvement for the fit options it provided as well as its light weight and improved warmth.

Testers preferred the boot with the rear spoiler in place but a few mentioned that the boot was raked a little further forward than what’s found in most current boots. Some suggested thinning the spoiler thickness a few millimeters would kill two birds with one stone, opening up calf fit and creating a more upright stance. That’s something a bootfitter can easily accomplish for you.

The lateral set-up was ideal for virtually all testers. That’s good because there is no cuff adjustment available on the G2. So if you’ve got some wacky stance needs, this may not a good place to start your boot hunt. On the upside, no cuff adjustment means direct connection of upper to lower for maximum transmission of skier radness straight to ski—and that is what this boot is all about.
