When a close friend introduces her baby sister to you, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Oh how cute … I hope she’s not a brat. When Blizzard introduced the Cheyenne, I really didn’t know what to make of it, but I quickly put it in the category of “the Black Pearl’s baby sister”. After spending some time testing other serious skis in the sub-80mm category, and having been on the Blizzard Viva X7 Ti (which I will review later), it was time to take out the Cheyenne. The conditions had become varied because it was the last run of the day, with scraped-off areas and push piles of crud everywhere. The Cheyenne did it all. It set an edge on the scraped areas, plowed through the piles, made me giggle in the moguls, and inspired me to rush back to the lift for one more run.
The Cheyenne may be the baby sister to the Black Pearl, but she’s got what it takes to stand on her own and inspire you to stay out on the slopes until last chair.
WHO IS IT FOR? Women seeking a front-side carver with a playful tenacity.
WHO IS IT NOT FOR? Someone looking for a one-ski quiver.
INSIDER TIP: Go a size longer than you'd normally use for a front-side ski.
