Blizzard

Binding installation was a snap with the IQ rails and integrated bindings. One the slopes the skis have enough stiffness to leave me feeling safe at speed yet they can still be managed in the bumps. Edge grip was also pretty impressive. Overall, a great ski for a fantastic price.

This is a top-level race ski. Not suitable for recreational skiers. For the right skier this is a great ski. It requires precision, strength, and speed, speed, speed. Keep it in the gates. I "recommend this ski to a friend" but only a friend who is in serious training for competitive racing.

great all around

Just spent 3 days at Wolf Creek fresh powder everyday these skis float like a dream, even on the Ice the the edges held. Straight out of the box with no tune, just a quick wax. The only negative I could find is the graphics and those disgusting 80s colors, that being said I love these skis!

These beefy pow skis never get bounced around. You can ram crud ridges and go through them like a hot knife through butter. I have several pairs of Blizzard skis with the IQ Max interchangeable binding system. I can quickly and easily swap telemark, AT and Alpine bindings between all pairs. The slight camber allows them to carve reasonably well on groomers but don't expect to be cutting trenches. These are made for bowls and running all out. They are a little awkward in tight trees. All in all an excellent ski for the big slopes. The only thing I don't like about them is their weight. These are a pain in the back on the boot pack.

I work ski patrol at a new England resort. I ski on piste groomers most of the time, but hit the trees a powder whenever I can. i ski 140 plus days a season. The conditions vary greatly in New England day to day, hour to hour. I need a ski that can do it all. Blizzard magnums excel at all conditions. They have perfect grip and carving performance for mid season groomers. they will also float on moderate powder and chop through crud like nothing else. They are a little stiff for super soft mid May skiing in Northern Vermont, but I have dedicated soft conditions skis for those days. They truly are a one ski quiver if you don't ski deep into May. Blizzard makes some of the best skis on the market, buy them!

Very nice looking skis and easy to install bindings! look forwards to trying them out this season!!

Have only skied on these 2 days, but they are awesome. Took them into the trees at Heavenly on day old pow, they were very maneuverable & comfortable to ski on. Had them in Vail's back bowls with about 6-8", they had me skiing faster than before & more comfortable in the variable conditions.

This ski is amazing. This is my second pair of Blizzard skis that I now own. Being a ski instructor, I use them for everything from teaching the beginner to park and pipe lessons. I have skied them both out west and here in PA. They are a good, lightweight ski for whatever you want to do.

Great skis that are responsive and relaxing for consistent snow. Not great in varied crud.
