The 9800 is the latest offering from Goode and like it’s predecessors it is much better then good. The 9800 is wider and more stable then the 9700. In the turning category the 9800 tied for the first. Skiers will find that the 9800 offers similar performance to the 9700 but is smoother and more forgiving in the turn. It does not necessarily turn as hard as the 9700 but turns more controllably.  Like the 9700 the 9800 seems to require almost no skier effort to get from one side of the course to the other. Not only does this ski generate speed with ease but it also maintains that speed very will.

"It is effortless from buoy to buoy and is very stable."  Carly Clifton

"It is much more symmetrical in the turns then past Goode skis that I have ridden."  Stephanie Stange

"Lightning Fast." Stephanie Stange

"I love it!" Mark Schneewind

The ski has lots of speed but also bleeds it off well MS
