PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

The Blizzard Bonafide was a reveiwers favourite. It's a remarkably efficient and energetic ski, both on and off piste. A relatively demanding ski, it's a good choice for good to expert skiers who want to cut tracks in the soft stuff and are looking for a ski that performs well on all types of terrains and has real character.

Review: Pros

  • The ski is remarkably effective and well-balanced both on and off piste. The reviewers were especially impressed with the ski's global performance and its great facility.
  • It will let you 'rip', and go faster on all kinds of terrain, in the powder and in more difficult snow conditions. With great edge control, lively and trumly responsive, this is a ski with character.

Review: Cons

  • The ski is rigid and requires a certain degree (not too much though) of physical engagement and control, especially on the groomers. It is less at ease in short turns.
