100 – 114 MM Freeride Ranking: #07

The esteemed Blizzard Cochise Skis come in hot this year with Blizzard’s new Carbon Flip Core construction. By placing carbon fiber in the rockered areas of the tip and tail, Blizzard yields a more stable ski with reduced vibration and swing weight for when you’re looking to get tricky like Run DMC. One tester celebrated the redesign, stating, “It’s more playful than the previous iteration, but still means business.” The rocker-camber-rocker profile helps the Cochise rip through any and all snow conditions, and the versatile waist width is a plus for those looking for a day-in, day-out driver.
