A perfect ski for the frontside hard snow performance serving up super edge grip & control. This ski is quick nimble & extremely responsive for the advanced skiers. Blizzard are a relatively new brand for us with last season being the first season that we stocked their range, however, having had the chance to get out on them at the ski test they are already a firm favourite of many of the staff & offer some great performing skis that sold really well & gained great feedback from our regular customers. Although not as well known here in the UK as some other brands, Blizzard have utilized their flip core technology that gives them a great fun feel whilst still offering great edge hold. The X-power 810 offers a width to sit up if there is some new snow on the ground, however it comes into its own when put hard on edge & used to carve up the mountain. The tip & tail rocker make the skis super easy to handle whilst the IQ system enhances power transmission while reducing vibrations & fatigue... Ski

This ski felt really solid & offered great edge hold, especially at high speeds. It felt very powerful & cut through crud & chopped up snow really well. It has quite a long turning radius & so is ideal if you like putting your ski on edge & putting in long sweeping turns down wide open pistes. Requires a bit of work to get the best out of it but if you are prepared to ski it hard then it will reward you with a smooth, natural feel that will result in you getting to the bottom with a big grin over your face & time to have a beer while you wait for everyone to make their own, slow, way down! Is this for me? For the advanced to expert skier who is looking for a solid, strong & responsive piste ski for tearing up the hardpack. This is 81 underfoot & so will cope if cutting between runs, however it is not designed for new snow & will want you to get back on the piste & carving. A really nice ski to progress onto as you develop your skiing & want to take your performance to the next step.
