Intro

This is one of the fattest skis in the Blizzard collection, which helps to understand what it's designed for. It weighs over two kilos, so it might not be for long ascents. You'd be better off limiting it to short climbs. The primary objective is floating in powder and big mountain skiing at high speeds, perfect for jumping off cliffs and for pro-level performance. It calls for good technique, or at least a heavier, more powerful skier, and we recommend a Shift, or step-in binding to take full advantage of this ski.
