OGASAKA ET-9.8 Skis
The OGASAKA ET-9.8 Skis are versatile all-mountain skis from the E-TURN Mountain series, designed for skiers who want confident performance across powder, backcountry terrain, off-piste snow, and groomed runs. With a 98 mm waist, the ET-9.8 offers a balanced platform for elegant cruising and responsive handling in changing snow conditions.
Compared with its predecessor, the ET-9.8 has been refined for stronger on-piste potential, improved performance in rough snow, and easier turn initiation. Its sandwich construction, ultra-light NF wood core, and special F.R.P. materials create a light yet stable feel, allowing the ski to feel shorter and more nimble while still delivering dependable stability at speed.
