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 1989, Goode patented a method for making carbon composite ski poles, and then in 1996, the company patented a carbon fiber composite 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 was relocated to Ogden, Utah to be closer to world-class snow and water skiing facilities and culture.
On January 15, 2020, the founder, Dave Goode, died in a small plane crash near Roy, Utah. Goode is survived by his parents, wife, four children, and two granddaughters.
