PEAK 98SC

Hike-To Steeps; East Coast Trees; Blower Powder Next to the Skintrack.

The 98SC is as unbounded as the mountains. It’s our ski of choice for inbounds hike-to terrain; chalky alpine snow; spring ski tours; summer couloirs, and anytime you want a bit more maneuverability in a mid-fat width. The SC stands for “side country,” and that means you can pair it with pretty much any boot/binding combination. But it was designed to perform with resort-to-AT hybrid bindings and freeride boots with walk/tour modes.

PEAK 98SC

What's Under the Hood?

It comes out of the same mold as our powered up Peak 98, but the 98SC is no clone. Less metal (but there are still two layers) saves weight for shouldering or skin tracks, and makes for easier piloting with today’s walk-mode boots and rubber soles. Meanwhile, our Storm Rocker footprint offers more splay in the tip and tail for a ski that’s easier to break free in trees and crust. The build makes for a surfier feel off-trail, while ensuring manageable edging.

Tail width 114.8mm
Waist 98mm
Shovel width 126.5mm

Need a 98SC to move beyond the boundaries?

At Peak, we’re about quality over quantity. Meaning the 98SCs will likely sell out before the rocks are covered. 
But $50 now guarantees you’ll be putting skins on these mid-fats as you’re reading the early avalanche reports.

The ski industry is full of bogus metrics. Take those flex indexes on ski boots for example. A “130 flex” stiffness isn’t even consistent within each boot company, let alone between different brands. It’s a sales tool.

Something similar is at play with turn radius designations. The numbers are derived from static geometry–meaning they tend to only be true on paper. With Peak, the turn radius we publish is just a suggestion. Our multi-radii sidecuts let you lay down a range of arcs because that’s how skiing works in the real world.

This versatility all circles back to KeyHole Technology™. Because Peak skis are more compliant in the shovel we can elongate the sidecut radius by multiple meters “on paper.”

Note the ironic quote marks. Although our 98s, 104s, and 110s sport 25-meter radii in the longer lengths, in reality they execute easy short swing turns too. When you’re balanced on your skis, variations in terrain, snowpack, and turn shape feel more natural. And because the fatter Peak skis feature less sidecut, when you take them off-trail in powder, crust, and crud, they track better. They don’t get hooky because there’s less of that hourglass shaping that wants to turn when you don’t.

We could get all egg heady here, but we won’t. Just know that Peak skis with KeyHole Technology™ sport longer radii on paper in order to deliver more versatility where it matters most—in the mountains.
