Van Deer Freeride 98 Ski

All-mountain freedom with race-bred power – meet your quiver killer.
If you’re chasing powder in the morning and smashing groomers after lunch, the Van Deer FREERIDE 98 is your dream ride. It’s the ski Marcel Hirscher built to do it all – with the heart of a charger and the soul of a freerider. The 98 mm waist hits that sweet spot for versatility, letting you float in fresh snow, rip firm lines, and slash trees with equal confidence. Under the hood, it’s got a poplar wood core, carbon layers and double titanal for damp, race-inspired power that doesn’t flinch at speed. A surfy rocker up front adds playfulness, while ABS sidewalls and race edges grip when it counts. It’s smooth, fast and totally dialled – ready for big back bowls, resort blasts, or wherever the mountain leads you.
