One word to sum up the Blizzard Cochise: Ripper. First and foremost, it’s built with a rocker-camber-rocker profile that helps dominate all conditions—from deep snow to smooth groomers. Additionally, there’s a light yet stiff carbon sheet inside that’s pre-shaped with the rocker profile to combat vibrations caused by the early rise. Cap that “shiz” off with a stable poplar-beech wood core and you’re ready to hit 100 on the send meter. “This thing goes fast and straight and can handle its own,” said one tester. “No question. The Cochise can bomb some serious lines.” Bombs away!
