On April 6th, Andy Wirth and Bode Miller announced the launch of the new venture, Peak Ski Company, LLC, a direct-to- consumer, high-performance ski and brand platform that is leading with a line of six all mountain and side-country skis for the 2022/23 ski season. “Based on her success within the much larger and more complex realm of major ski resort marketing, there’s no doubt that Tracy’s going to be a valuable member of our team. Tracy joining Peak really helps to complete our efforts to develop a driven, focused, innovative and truly high-performance team.” said Peak Ski Company Cofounder and Chief Innovation Officer, Bode Miller.
The lineup of Peak’s high-performance all mountain skis for 2022/2023 includes four models, with each model delineated by the measurement (in millimeters) underfoot: The Peak 88; Peak 98; Peak 104, and Peak 110. Working with Peruzzi and tested in the Montana backcountry, the company has also developed a line of high-performance “sidecountry” skis, Peak SC by Bode Miller, including Peak 98SCs 98’s and Peak 104SCs. The Peak SC by Bode Miller skis feature the relatively lightweight characteristic of backcountry or touring skis, yet integrate those high-performance qualities more typically found in all mountain skis.
