Blizzard Viva Ultra Sonic Full Suspension review 2013
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The Blizzard Utra Sonic is a technical and enjoybale ski for good to very good, sports-oriented skiers, who're looking for high performance. Despite its qualities, it lacks the accessibility, comfort and versatility that's the trademark of the Advanced category.
Review: Pros
- The Blizzard Ultra Sonic is a great performer. The ski got good scores for its stability, especially in wide radius turns at high speed. Its vivacity and grip when carving out sharp turns was also highly appreciated.
Review: Cons
- The ski requires good technical and physical skills.
