Blizzard Bushwacker review 2013
Best ski 2013
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
Another "Coup de coeur" favourite for our reviewers, Blizzard's Bushwacker is a winner. It's wholly in line with the requirements for this category. Like the Stormrider, we strongly recommend it for good to expert skiers for 70% piste/30% off-piste use.
Review: Pros
- On the slopes, the ski wins points for its manoeuvrability and its playfulness. We noted the precise edge grip and the superb carve steering qualities. The ski is very versatile, easily switching from one style of ride to another.
Review: Cons
- The ski is rigid, requiring a good deal of physical prowess.

Manufacturer's remarks
This bull has no fear of the crowds and is happy to show off its expertise on secured pistes. Its 88 mm waist and Flip Core 3D Rocker design make it extremely agile and versatile.
