History
Dave Goode founded GOODE Ski Technologies in 1975. During the first fifteen years, the then Michigan-based company manufactured and marketed a full line of ski accessories.
In 1990, the company introduced the carbon composite ski pole, then in 1994, the company applied the same technology to the manufacturing of water skis, patenting the carbon fiber water ski. Over the past 14 years, carbon fiber skis have set the Men's and Women's World Records and won many US National Medals.
In 1995, GOODE prototyped and built the carbon fiber snow ski. In 2001, the company expanded its factory and purchased the production assets of Volant skis, and currently produces a full line of carbon fiber snow skis.
In 2004, the corporate headquarters were relocated to Ogden, Utah to be closer to world-class snow and water skiing.
