Product Info
Bring your big, strong and fast game and be ready to ignore the screams of the safety patrol, the Blizzard GS FIS Race Dept Skis are here and they're not taking "slow" for an answer. This ski is from the era when GS skiers had legs the size of tree trunks and little regard for G forces - the 35 meter radius is definitely not for wussies, and neither is the FIS-minimum 195 centimeter length. If you've got the strength, size and skill to put these things on edge, you're in for the ride of your life.

Terrain
Carving For those that like the classic feeling of laying a ski over on edge and arcing a perfect turn, carving skis are what you want. These skis have narrower waists and shorter turn radii for edge to edge quickness and responsive turn initiation and exit on groomed runs and hard pack. The beginner-intermediate skis in this category are designed to make learning how to turn as easy as going from pizza to French fries.
- Skis: No Bindings

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Camber
More
Rocker Type
Camber Camber is the traditional profile for skis offering skiers lots of edge hold, especially on harder snow. A cambered ski has a smooth arch underfoot and contact points near the tip and tail when unweighted. Camber skis excel at carving on hard snow; you won’t ever see a ski racer on anything other than cambered skis.
