    Blizzard Brahma 82 SP Feedback

    I've done a lot of web searching, generally and on here, but have to date found little real feedback on Blizzard's SP version of the Brahma. In general it's supposed to be a bit easier and softer to ride, but I can't really find an in-depth review or comparison with the regular Brahmas. Here's...

    Any all-DPS ski quiver folks out there?

    Hello, folks. I have rotated through a bunch of skis in the last ten years, searching for a great western US quiver. (5'10", 170 lbs, 25 years of skiing -- I ski everything on the mountain but I'm not an ex-racer, I could really care less about big GS-turns at 60 miles an hour. I like bumps...

    Blizzard Bonafides...still BAD to the BONE!

    Over the last decade my preferred ski brands have been Blizzard, Nordica and Black Crowes. That said, I haven't owned a pair of Blizzards since I got ride of Bonafides 3 or 4 years ago and switched over to Enforcers (100 and 104 Free). I hadn't been on the new Bonafide until late last week...

    Stockli laser ax vs blizzard firebird hrc

    Curious if anyone has skied both of these and has impressions. I’m looking at both and would like to know thoughts. I’m a life long eastern skier, currently on head I-rally. Looking for hard snow, carving ski with lots of energy. Based on reviews, the blizzard seems like a slightly better fit...

    Nastar/Beer League Ski Length/Radius

    First off, I want to thank everyone who posts here - I've been learning a ton reading all this wisdom since joining up last month! My kids started racing this season and I've decided to get back into gates as well (after a two-decade hiatus). Our local hill in Iowa has the kids running Nastar...

    Who owns who? Current ski company ownership

    I've lost track of which ski companies are in which company "families". I've searched, but not coming up with an accurate updated picture of how things currently are with the parent companies and their brands. Anyone have a reference source with the answers?

    Blizzard Rustler 11 - 188 or 192?

    Hi! I'am a quite good skier (36 years old, 6'2 , 172lbs) from austria and look for a good floating but also playfull/poppy ski for powder and little bit shorter turns in trees. My preferens: 55% trees at midium speed (shorter and midium turns), 30% faster speed and bigger turns in open powder...

    Cage Match Comparison 2018 Blizzard Brahma and Brahma CA vs 2018 Nordica Navigator 90 and 85

    In trying to outmaneuver Blizzard, Nordica has been sneaky smart, and to an extent it is working. Nordica caught its cousin a bit flatfooted when putting the Enforcer 100 up against the Bonafide. When the Enforcer 93 came out, Blizzard’s Brahma and Regulator were left to rely on their reputation...

    New Rental Brahma that Blizzard "should" produce

    Here it is: our new "performance" rental/demo for 2017. It is basically a current Black Pearl, but labeled the Brahma Rental. Doesn't it seem like the perfect ski for that moderately technical skier who skis 5-10 days a year? Why isn't Blizzard offering this ski in retail channels? The Brahma...

    Comparison Review Overview: 2017 Blizzard Quattro Collection

    "The Quattro is a collection of men's and women's skis that are specifically designed for groomed snow. They are the most thoroughly designed and technologically advanced skis ever built." That marketing statement could be said by any ski company offering a new collection of skis. Blizzard has...
