Details
The Mohawk 98 is built for demanding skiers that want to rail turns over variable snow types, then charge through the trees and bumps with a strong yet smeary tail.
On trail, its quick turning radius and strong edge grip lets you lay down deep arcs in hard snow. Off trail, ample tip and tail rocker allow you to float in powder and easily smear out of a turn. The Mohawk 98 rewards an aggressive skier with an energetic flex and pop from turn-to-turn. A stiff mid-body and nanoMAG damping keep the Mohawk tracking through crud and chopped up snow with ease.
Milled 3D core pockets reduce swing-weight on this already strong yet svelte ski. Put it all together, the Mohawk 98 delivers a high performance ride anywhere on the mountain.

Premium Materials
Core
Laminated ash/aspen hardwood: Long grain premium white ash and aspen is hand selected and cut into full-length strips. Strips are individually flex indexed and laminated together symmetrically. Each laminated core is CNC milled to a precise thickness profile developed for each model and length.
nanoMAG® Damping System
nanoMAG® magnesium sheets are inlaid into the wood cores. The unique characteristic of this material is its ability to dissipate mechanical energy into heat, with increased capacity as the material is moved faster.
Composites
Unidirectional carbon fiber strips below the core, burly triaxial fiberglass below the core, lightweight (MidLight) triaxial fiberglass above the core, fiberglass binding mat underfoot. Rubber bonding strips placed along edges, sidewalls, and ends for rock solid bonding.
Bio-Based Epoxy
Entropy Super Sap® epoxy contains 28% bio-based content and is specifically designed for skis. It's formulated for high-strength and impact resistance, which creates a durable, tough, and lightweight composite.
Sidewalls
Full-height UHMW - the same raw material as your base, bombproof and double chamfered for reduced swingweight. A rounded mini-cap top edge rolls over the sidewall to protect your topsheets.
Topsheet
Clearview gloss nylon with sublimated graphics and transparent windows to the wood core.
Base + Edge
1.4 mm CNC Knife Cut 4001 Race Grade Durasurf sintered UHMW. 2.2 mm over-sized and heat treated edges take a beating.

A love for skiing is a prerequisite for each and every employee at Shaggy’s. We design, prototype, and test every ski model before it’s made available to you, and that passion for skiing is clearly evident in our end product.

These girls are everything! I’ve had my eyes on Shaggy’s for years, and was finally able to make it happen. Since I wasn’t able to demo the Mohawks or the Medoras (which I was also considering), I put my trust in the team at Shaggy’s to make recommendation. Lynn, Shari, and Jeff were so helpful! I’m so happy with how the custom graphics turned out. I have yet to ride a lift without getting compliments!
These ski excellent, even with the little snow we’ve had in Wisconsin. They’ve performed better than I expected on hard groomers, great on soft groomers, and they “floated” through the “powder” while it lasted. I can’t wait to get into some pow and trees with them! So far, they’ve checked all my boxes.
Ladies, don’t overlook these skis! I’m so glad Lynn suggested them for me. They are my girls and we have a blast!
Oh- and if you are at Cascade on a Saturday, you might luck out and see me, the donut lady, with Saturday chairlift donuts. Don’t be shy. KT Glazers are the 💣!

These are my 3rd pair of Shaggy’s … I love them all, but the SHAGGY’S 2023 MOHAWK 98’s are my favorite! They are lightweight with virtually no chatter. Most importantly, they are fun … carve perfectly on rough and groomed! Can’t wait for many more years of skiing Shaggy’s!

As a longtime Shaggy's ambassador, I've been lucky to ski on many pairs of Shaggy's skis. I am very pleased to report that the 2023 Mohawk 98 is the perfect ski to compliment the Shaggy's lineup. This ski is predictable edge to edge, but responsive enough to still be a ton of fun. It rails turns when you want it to, but maintains just enough early rise in the tail to let you break free for those slash turns. The 98mm waist width plays well in all snow conditions, and quickly became my go to ski for almost everything this past season. Light enough to be a backcountry ski, but burly enough to withstand a season of lift accessed laps. The Mohawk 98 excelled just as well on countless east coast variable backcountry days as it did skiing off the summit of Revelstoke in knee deep pow. I've been an avid proponent for both the Ahmeek and the Phoenix models in the past, and while I don't love them any less, the Mohawk 98 currently has my heart. I'm really happy that this ski is no longer a prototype, but more so the next ski for many ripping skiers out there.
