Dear GOODE Skier:

For years, I dreamt of building a ski that is lighter in weight, more powerful, easier to
turn, and more fun than any snow ski ever built. I thought that in order to build these
“Dream Skis”, I would need to reinvent the way skis are designed and manufactured.
That’s what I set out to do.

My research led me to select CARBON FIBER as the main ingredient in my “Dream
Skis”. CARBON FIBER has over six times (6X) the strength-to-weight ratio over fiber­glass/Titanal, the stuff (materials) used to build all other skis. CARBON FIBER skis are
not only stronger, but lighter, and more reactive.

However, as with anything, there are trade-offs. CARBON FIBER is expensive, has
longer molding cycles, and needs to be processed by hand. I realized my “Dream Skis”
could never be mass-produced.

So, today we build each GOODE Ski by hand, one at a time, with the same passion that
my staff and I share for skiing. Our small production team takes pride in the quality of
their work. We’re proud to be building the only all CARBON FIBER skis built in the
world.

Dreams can become reality!

I hope you enjoy your skis.

Sincerely,

Dave Goode
