Blizzard 2015 ski reviews

The Blizzard skis’ performance surprised us this year. The SRC Racing Suspension is no exception to the rule as it was the "reviewers’ favourite" in this slalom category. In effect, the ski manages to combine excellent performance with remarkable accessibility. Highly recommended for a wide range of skiers (good to competitors) who want a real maxi performance slalom ski that can still be skied in... Read on

Blizzard has astonished us this year with the dynamic qualities of its models. The Power 600 gets a recommendation from the testers here thanks to its extreme adaptability coupled with a particularly energetic and playful nature that the reviewers raved about. It’s an excellent ski for all intermediate to excellent skiers looking for an efficient and extremely lively ski.

Already a winner in previous ProSkiLab reviews, the Bonafide, still rigidified by a sheet of titanium, remains a solid investment, especially for good to excellent skiers who’re looking for an invigorating, athletic ski, designed for performance and speed both on and off-piste.

The little sister of the excellent Bonafide, the Brahma has taken on board the same (good) recipes (ski rigidified by a titanal sheet), with the same effects, giving an athletic and dynamic ski that’s especially at ease on piste. We recommend this model for athletic skiers who enjoy performance both on and off-piste.

A true "Performance" ski, the Blizzard Power 800 S rips up the powder. The ski won over the reviewers in this demanding category thanks to its really strong character, despite the slight lack of accessibility and versatility. An excellent choice for good to very good, athletic and technically-oriented skier.

The Viva 400 is a very good leaner’s ski that we recommend for beginners and false beginners. More experienced skiers would do better to choose a more progressive model like the Dynastar.
