The highest Flex/torsion ratio of any ski available and only 975 grams each. Translated; that is to say soft flexing with strong torsional rigidity and incredibly lightweight. 
Model: Fujative
Size(cm) / Radius(m): 154/12 164/14 174/16 184/18
Sidecut : 117-74-103 117-74-103 118-74-102 119-74-101 Manufacturer's Description: "ALL-MOUNTAIN AND MIXED SNOW SKIING WITH THE ABILITY TO SKI OFF GROOMED TRAILS (OFF-PISTE) - The C74 was designed to fill a gap between the C68 and C82. When I first skied the C74 I was surprised how well it carved, yet how well it skied off groomed trails (off-piste). If I skied primarily on groomed trails and had only one pair of skis to ski in the Western Mountains of North America, I would choose the C74. It is an "All-Mountain" shaped ski with a parabolic, hourglass sidecut for great "All-Mountain" performance, carving, and the ability to venture off piste." Ski-Review's verdict: Curiosity finally got the better of me and knowing how well Goode water skis perform, I was eager to ski their Alpine products. Impressive, is the perfect word to describe this ski. No other ski feels like the Goode. The first thing one notices is the weight, or lack thereof. Pick them up and they weigh about as much as a pair of bindings. The flex is surprisingly soft resulting in some very sudden turns until one learns restraint. They react to subtle input much like Dynastar's Omeglass slalom ski. That is not to say that the Goode 74 is a race ski, but rather that the Goode does not respond to gross movements or brute force. Very easy to control and turn shapes are as diverse as the skier can imagine. Think "turn" and it happens. No effort and surprisingly stable. While they are pricey, the feel is so unique that unless you ski a pair, there is no way you can imagine how different they feel. Sorry, but I have to say it. They actually feel 'Goode'.

Have a pair of C82's with Fritschi FR bindings for backcountry..awesome, very lite for touring, requires lite touch, not for ham-fisted chargers but have great edge-hold, versatile. Have ordered C95's also but have not tried them yet | Goode 82

Have only ski'd them on piste and just off the edges so far. Initally I found the lightness a bit weird, felt like there was less ski there. Once I completed a couple of runs found they had incredible edge grip on the steeper stuff and were really agile. Now lets find some powder. Loving them so far. | Goode 82

I bought the 82s last spring and gave them the full freeride test at Andermatt in powder conditions. They performed spectacularly. However, I don't recommend this ski for hardpack or crusty conditions. It is too light to hold an edge well on ice and doesn't blast through crud that well. However, they rock for soft conditions, which is what I'm usually skiing when I ski in the backcountry anyways. I have them set up with a Dynafit binding. You should see people's faces when they lift them up; it is usually one of astonishment. They excel in deep snow.
I liked the Goodes so much that I just ordered 95s that I'll mount with D/H bindings for heli- and cat-skiing. | Wondering what ski to buy

I'm 16 years old, and am a good skier, who loves powder, double-black diamonds, and backcountry. Would the C74's be a good choice? or do you have any other suggestions? | Goode 95

I have the Goode 95. Skied them in West coast powder and East coast groomers. They ski like a GS ski on the groomers. They are very fast edge to edge. But once on edge they carve a GS turn.
Now in the powder they are incredible! Quick turns. Light. Easy on the shoulders when climbing.
If you want a ski that puts a smile on your face during powder days, then go with the 95. Plus they can carve back to a lift. |
