Blizzard Bonafide Skis 2013

Comments about Blizzard Bonafide Skis 2013:

The Bonafide likes to go fast, but it wasn't a lot of work to ski. The 98mm waist felt like 80mm in terms of agility edge to edge, and the few turns that I took in chopped up crud it was very stable. Over all one of the most fun skis I skied at the test, the Bondafide shines on groomed and anything less than ~5 inches of soft snow. The ski has a classic shape and camber profile, so it is not anything surprising, but that is exactly the type of performance I would want from a hard-snow biased, all-mountain charger. Stiff, damp, stable, yet snappy and responsive, this ski is a perfect firm snow tool for a 2-ski quiver out west.

I have ridden these skis over 10 separate days in the Sierras. Some days icy, some days several feet of new snow. I found the ski to be very stable in these conditions. On icy slopes they still managed a pretty good grip. On groomed I felt like a carver just floating in an out of turns. When it snowed several feet, I had a blast going in and out of the trees which I normally didn't do much of in the past but these skis kept me on top of the snow and were easy to turn. I really can't tell you too much about tight quick turns down the steeps as I have problems with that anyway. I would think they would do fine I just have a little problem with the jump turns myself. Also I really didn't do much in the moguls except a little playing around. Again its those tight quick turns that I have always had a problem with.
