Blizzard capitalizes on the success of its Sheeva brand by expanding the line to include two separate skis. The wider, deeper-snow-oriented Sheeva 11 boasts a 112 mm waist, which is ideal for gliding above powder with ease and also stable and sturdy for days when firm or variable snow prevails. According to our testers the ski wants to “go fast and straight and is very stable at speed.” This is due in part to a layer of Titanal underfoot. Testers also celebrated its playful undertones. Layer upon layer of carbon and fiberglass reinforcement, coupled with a poplar-beech-balsa-paulownia core, ensures dampness and spring while keeping weight savings at the forefront. The committed skiers will surely cry, “Hail, Sheeva!”
