Countach Tour 98

For The Long Haul | Freestyle DNA / Freeride Backbone

The Countach Tour 98 is built for long days and big lines — light on the skintrack, mean on the descent, and way too fun to be this efficient. Blending freeride power with a touring-first build, it’s quick, precise, and confident when conditions get weird and terrain gets steep. A directional shape for skiers who want to move fast without giving up stability, the Countach Tour 98 pivots easily through tight terrain but still drives hard when it’s time to open things up. With a lightweight paulownia / beech core, dual radius sidecut, and enough backbone to keep things composed when the snow turns variable, the Countach Tour 98 is ready for it all — whether you’re harvesting corn, picking through chalky couloirs, or ripping fast exits back to the trailhead.

    • This is a general guideline and is only a basic suggestion of the proper size. Where you ski, how you ski, and what skis you've ridden in the past should be taken into consideration.
    • The Countach is a stiff, directional freeride ski with rocker. This means it will be stable at speed while retaining maneuverability and playfulness.
    • If you are still on the fence and ski confidently and aggressively size up. If you ski more conservatively or timidly size down.
    • Beginner assumes a basic understanding of and ability to ski. For those who have never skied or cannot ski down runs without falling we recommend renting/demoing to start.
    If you are unsure, have questions, or feel your recommended size is incorrect, please chat, call or email us. We are happy to discuss specific sizing based on your build, skiing style, and existing quiver / past skis.

Front Rocker

ingredients

Full length, knot free, vertically laminated in house. Our unique touring oriented core offers unrivaled energy in an ultralight package. No hollow dead feeling here. The real deal, just light on its feet so you can go back for more.

Extruded sidewalls constructed of modified Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) provide stiffness, damping, and durability, which allow for more impact resistance and easier repairs that stay put so you can bring the abuse year after year, season after season.

A combination of custom lighter triaxial and carbon fiber designed to compliment our touring cores makes the uphill easier without sacrificing fun on the way back down.

We use a textured nylon topsheet material enhanced with sublimated graphics‒a non-toxic and eco-friendly alternative to silkscreen. We chose this topsheet material to ensure optimal durability and impact resistance while maintaining crisp and bright graphics.

Skis are tools not treasures and that means they need to take a beating which is why we use recycled, carbon infused sintered UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight PolyEthylene). Harder, faster and with better wax absorption and retention than extruded bases this is the industry leader for performance and longevity.

Rubberized VDS foil is placed at strategic locations throughout the construction to increase bond strength and provide vibration damping for more stability and increased control.

There are only a handful of edge manufacturers in the world. We go straight to the source for the best of the best. We use only 2.2mm Rockwell 48 hardened steel edges. Heat treated additionally in house to ensure you get nothing but the absolute most out of your skis.
