Packing a light wood core, a sandwich sidewall, tip and tail rocker (as part of Blizzard’s Flipcore technology) and slight camber under the boot, this thing is built to rip in all conditions. Our testers said the ski “does it all, and it does it all well.” One individual went so far as to say, “This thing is a lethal weapon. It crushes pow, absolutely rips while carving, is solid on landings and in the bumps, and I can hop around on it too. If you don’t like this ski, I will fight you.” The Cochise is well suited to the agile and strong skiers out there. Blizzard notes in their catalog that ninjas are the target group for this ski.
