It’s a certified hard-charger—as in, it handles like Jeff Gordon—with a hefty dose of press, pop and play in its DNA. “It’s poppy and loves to go backwards yet has that classic Blizzard stability,” said one tester, while another loved it so much they dubbed it “the one ski quiver—suitable in every condition.” Rocker in the tip and tail makes for a nimble ride through trees, bumps and variable terrain, while camber underfoot provides that absurd handling. The 104-mm waist is suitable for almost any conditions you might encounter.
