PEAK® 98 BY BODE

Howdy all. I'm a 1m+/year vert skier in the FOG skier demographic (F@#$ , & old guy). I gave my Peak 98s a vigorous real world performance test last year in the Wasatch & Sierras in all conditions. Edge hold in all snow temps & types, & freshness is unwaveringly solid for my 235 lb. Eframe. Turn initiation is quick, precise and fully trustworthy on the steeps and flats alike. On piste sends land solid and quickly neutralize setting up a turn platform you can count in.. At straight line speed their is no chatter and the ride is stable and solid. The ski's backbone gives you the confidence to let them run. Pow handling is as expected for this ski's width and their dive tendency is minimal even with my 1 cm. forward binding position. I tune my skis often and the Peaks have survived the regular attention well & hold their 1° base/2° side angle edge reliably. They can be dressed quickly with minimal edge material removal. Bases are resilient and are easily filled and flattened. I both hot wax & rub apply wax regularly on the slope The skis accept and hold wax well and effectively. My only wish is that Peak offered longer skis. Not because these skis are lacking anything; but more for my psychological comfort and vanity. So, to wrap up these skis offer a revolutionary positive design. They are high quality, well made and tastefully appointed skis. I like them so much I bought a whole quiver and gifted many family members with these amazing skis.

I ski in Utah and have to say the Bode 98 is a thing of beauty on the hill. Great on and off piste. The 190cm will roll down any slope with stability and performance. I would highly recommend this ski !

I got a great deal on my skis, Peak treated me right. Looking forward to trying them out after the snow accumulates, as I didn't buy them to be my early-season rock skis. In my group of friends, we have 27 pairs of different sizes and widths.

Only skied these skis for a couple of runs before Colorado conditions became too mushy and they seemed quite nimble and quick to turn. I’m anxious to give Peak 98 a workout when next season begins!

The Peak 98 is the best ski I've skied on in some 65 years!! It is very easy to turn in all conditions and speeds I've encountered so far. It's extremely solid and predictable. Plus the graphic colors are perfect!
