Men's Blizzard Bonafide 97 Skis
A classic that's the right choice on almost any day you choose to ride, the Blizzard Bonafide 97 Skis continue to reign as the "real deal" all-mountain choice for many of the best skiers on the planet. The zinger is that the current version is the most "user-friendly" yet, and although the B97 feels totally solid at 50 mph on ice, it still turns willingly at modest speeds and handles crud and chop as well as anything on the market.
Rocker Type
Rocker Camber Rocker–Ski profile with rocker at the tip and tail, camber in the middle. Reducing the pressure on the edge at the tip and tail makes the ski even easier to handle and increases flotation on powder snow. The camber guarantees great grip on packed snow.
Core
TrueBlend Woodcore–Combining Beech and Poplar woods in a uniquely balanced blend that's tailored to the performance needs of each Blizzard all-mountain ski, the TrueBlend cores are labor-intensive but worth the extra effort.
Carbon Flipcore Technology–A revolutionary rockered ski production process that incorporates a uni-directional carbon frame onto the core of the ski that results in great performance with a light and easy feel.
Laminates
Titanium Binding Reinforcement Layer
Bi-directional Carbon Fiber
Anti-Shock Layer
Sidewalls
Sandwich Compound Sidewall–All Blizzard skis with the exception of some junior skis are built with ABS or Phenol sidewalls for superior performance (stability, power transmission, handling) and durability.
Base
Sintered Graphite Base
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
