Gear Review: The Mode, by Deviation (Made in OR)

Got the chance to demo a few of Deviation's skis this weekend. Deviation is a small, new ski company in Portland that builds all of its skis in house. The Mode is their do-all ski. They allow for effortless turning--great for skiing tight trees in the PNW.

I'll try to get a few more reviews of the other skis out soon.

Have any info on the ski weight?

Have any info on the ski weight?

Not yet...I talked to the folks at Deviation about weights. They are going to let me know. I will update this post and the review once I have that information. My guess is that the Modes come in around 8lbs per pair.

The Modes weigh in at 9.4 lbs per pair at 188cm...not a featherweight by any means, but within reason for a fat, downhill oriented ski.
