The iconic Bonafide, long-praised for its masterful combination of technical performance and all-mountain versatility, is made to attack the mountain with grace and precision. From crushing through crud, to laying it down on hard pack, to navigating your way through untouched pow in the trees, they’re the ultimate all-conditions daily driver for committed skiers. The TrueBlend Woodcore specifically targets the flex throughout the ski, with a softer tip and tail that keeps you nimble. Denser wood underfoot acts like a gas pedal, giving you the power and drive when you want to charge. Combined with a versatile sidecut and a reduced rocker profile, the Bonafide is the perfect blend of Austrian engineering and real-world testing that’ll keep you skiing confidently, even on those less-than-perfect days.

The Bonafide 97 is a ski that doesn't make any excuses about what it is - a strong weapon for attacking the mountain. The Bonafide is best suited for advanced and expert skiers who want a tool that is stiff, demanding, and uncompromising of mistakes (a rather unique offering in today's world of rocker everything).

This was honestly the best experience I had purchasing anything! Jamie was super helpful and knowledgable throughout the process. He was very responsive and a lot of fun to work with. He was able to provide me with the right amount of advice and give me the right amount of room to make decisions without being too much pressure. He's the man and I look forward to working with him in the future!

Spencer is the man
5 /5
Came here pretty clueless and wanted to find some gear for cheap, but as we know, gear is not cheap. So Spencer gave me some recommendations on some used stuff I was looking at elsewhere and helped me and my girlfriend dial in our setups for the season! It was super helpful having someone knowledgeable discuss options and specifics with each piece of gear. Very happy customer :)

Very helpful
5 /5
I was honestly just trying to figure out what the best size board would be for me and he took me step by step through the process. I would not have bought anything if he wasn't so much help. It was an easy process and he made me feel confident in what I was buying. If its your just looking for your first board or looking to replace one Bobby would give you great suggestions that you can select from.

5 /5
This is my first time buying a board setup, and much would have been a daunting task, except Leif turned that around for me. He made excellent recommendations and took well to my feedback. He was honest with what would be better for my skill set and gave me a range of options. Without Leif’s expertise, id be getting the wrong everything, just wasting time and money. Thanks again!!
