Endurance 98 | 2027

Skiers on the hunt for the ultimate quiver killer should give the Renoun Endurance 98 a good look. One of skiing’s newer companies, Renoun brings a fresh set of eyes to building a proper all-mountain plank. At 98 mm underfoot, but with enough rocker and surface area in tip and tail for deeper days, the Endurance 98 handles hard-packed and soft snow all the same. 

One of the first things you notice is how quiet it feels underfoot. In chopped-up snow and variable conditions, the ski stays composed with minimal vibration, delivering a smooth ride. At the same time, it’s not overly demanding. The tip and tail are soft enough to provide a playful, floaty feel when you find pockets of soft snow or start moving through tighter terrain.

On groomers, the Endurance 98 holds a confident edge, particularly when you start to open things up. When you put the pedal down and start arcing long turns, you’ll notice how comfortable the ski is at speed. Short, slalom-style turns are not the sweet spot, especially on the longer lengths. However, you’ll be able to pivot through bumps and trees thanks to the rockered tip and tail, creating a balance we love. 

That versatility really shows up in varied terrain and mixed conditions. It feels predictable, with enough pop to make quick, reactive turns without ever feeling twitchy. It’s not a ski that demands perfect technique, which makes it approachable for a wide range of skiers.

While it might not be the first choice for a deep powder day or for someone looking to charge as hard as possible, the Endurance 98 fits nicely in that middle ground. It’s a reliable, adaptable ski that can handle just about anything you throw at it, making it a strong everyday option for skiers who want consistency.
