Freeride 98 without bindings

FREERIDE 98 – When the piste ends, the fun begins

The VAN DEER FREERIDE 98 was not developed to spend all day on perfectly groomed slopes. It was built for those moments when the best line isn't on the piste. For fresh powder between the trees, for tracked-out slopes after snowfall, and for all skiers who love to carve their own tracks.

With 98 mm underfoot, the FREERIDE 98 strikes the perfect balance between float, agility, and versatility. Wide enough for true off-piste adventures, yet precise enough to be a blast on the piste too.

Technology & Comfort

Like all VAN DEER models, the FREERIDE 98 relies on uncompromising quality. The high-quality ash-poplar wood core ensures a perfect balance of stability, liveliness, and dampening. This is supported by a double Titanal binding, which gives the ski impressive smoothness even at high speeds and in difficult conditions.

The robust sandwich construction with full ABS sidewalls ensures direct power transfer and exceptional durability. Whether it's chopped-up powder, wind-crusted snow, slush, or hard traverses – the FREERIDE 98 remains confident and predictable.

Its versatility is particularly impressive. While many freeride skis feel sluggish on the piste, the FREERIDE 98 can be skied surprisingly precisely on the edge. That's precisely why it's the perfect daily driver for many freeriders.

Who is it suitable for?

The FREERIDE 98 is aimed at skiers who take every opportunity to leave the piste. It's ideal for athletic skiers who enjoy a few quick carving turns in the morning and then go searching for powder.

For anyone looking for just one ski for the entire season and regularly skiing between piste, off-piste, and varying snow conditions, the FREERIDE 98 is an extremely exciting choice.

Our conclusion

The VAN DEER FREERIDE 98 is not a specialist for individual conditions – and that's exactly what makes it so strong.

It offers enough float for true powder days, remains stable in chopped-up snow, and provides significantly more performance on the piste than many other skis in its category. If you're looking for a ski that excites equally on the piste in the morning and off-piste in the afternoon, the FREERIDE 98 will quickly become your new favorite ski. 🦌🏔️🔥
