Trab or Goode skis

Cool... thanks for the discussion tele_mark. I'm looking forward to checking these out.<br><br>Michael

I had to go to the Goode web-site today to purchase parts for my ski poles and found this.<br><br> www.goode.com/closeoutss.html <br><br>Aaron

Some good input, thanks. Hopefully someone with in-depth knowledge of Goode skis in regard to they perform for randonnee skiing will post.

<br><br>They advertise closeout on models with names like "Extra, Excess, and Exact". Click on the link to their models to get a description, and they have no such models listed. So how would someone know what they were ordering?<br><br>Readers of this excellent thread might want to also check out the "Bro" carbon fiber skis.<br><br> www.telemarktalk.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php...55460479a72d990a9934

Bros aren't carbon. They a traditional wood core, fiberglass lay-up design. <br><br>Those closeout Goodes are alpine skis that are a few years old. If you google the model names you can find the dimensions. Not much information on them, though.

I plan to ski on some Trab skis this winter, and if I understood their Italian, some ski mountaineers I ran into in Switzerland last winter thought their Trabs were pretty good.<br><br>Conversely, I've never found anyone with anything good to say about Goode skis. There was one patroller at Snowbord who was skiing on free Goodes, and he said the skis were "jumpy."
