PEAK® 98 BY BODE

The Peak ski performs to your slightest wish. The skis seem to know when to turn and when to carve effortlessly and respond to all conditions. By the time you think turn, the ski has done the work and lets you enjoy the ride while being in total control. he ski can hold an edge in the moguls and can let you carve like a pro on the groomers. Just trust this ski and have fun.

I am a sucker for some good ski marketing. They whole "key hole" story worked on me - but the left side of brain was screaming just another boutique ski brand... BUT - with some solid days on them now from 14" in UT to scratchy days in VT I am a full believer I f'ing love these skis. really. the edge hold makes me smile like my Stockli Laser SLs. But they feel nimble edge to edge like a wood core twin tip. I have never had a non-race ski that gave me more confidence to 'finish' a turn so aggressively on hard conditions - without terrifying me that i can get back onto the other edge. But still be fun in the woods or moguls. Its not a ski you can ski lazy on - but why ski lazy. I am in love with these skis.

I have only been able to get on them a couple of times. Unfortunately they arrived after I had left for a week in Utah. Powder day at Stowe they were excellent and a groomer day they were very good, but I like the 88's much better for the all mountain conditions ie. groomers, moguls, woods, firm surface. Maybe it's just more what I'm used to. A little more under foot, which I need to get comfortable with.. 88's are quicker which is what I look for in general. Nonetheless, the 98 is a solid performer, just better in soft, powder conditions. Going forward I will bring 98's to Utah and use the 88's @ Stowe 75% of the time. A good problem to have.

Have the same edge grip and power as the Mantra (2013/14 model) but so much more skiable everywhere on the mountain and in the deeper and more variable conditions. Amazing everyday ski!

This is my second pair of Peak skis. I purchased them for the days when my 104SC is not ideal. On Mt. Hood we have pretty much all types of conditions so I was looking for a ski to do anything at any time. the Peak 98 does just that. The ski will respond to whatever kind of terrain I throw it at. I have learned that as a former racer and ski instructor these skis perform best when I am in a more forward stance. They are fine in a neutral stance but they really ski best in a more agressive hill attacking carve. I might even decide to run a GS or two a I have no doubt they have plenty of top end speed. All that being said, the ski does not demand that I ski them in any one style, they work great all the time.
