What's Blizzard up to?

Gunsmoke/peacemaker/regulator would get more credit if they were not consistently some of the worst graphics on the ski wall.

Brahma through Spur get killer graphics. Women's line consistently looks clean. The gun slinger skis however, range from meh to downright ugly each year. Next season's gun smokes are not terrible though.

Vote for old V20 throwbacks

Fully agree. I rarely see anybody under 30 yrs old on Blizzards, and I would imagine the graphics contribute to that.

just make em all red for Christ's sake

[skibrd]

They do at my house. Spent more time on the Gunsmoke than anything else in the quiver last season.

Second this! I spend the last two seasons on Bonafides, even bought a new pair for this year due to some base and edge damage, but ended up spending skiing the new Bonafides maybe 10 days because I was always grabbing the Gunsmokes.

I like the gunslinger blue/green Gunsmokes over the current weird eyed bull graphics, but the simplicity of the Bhrama to Spur graphics win. I feel they are the best looking skis out today.

Having trouble finding info on the 2016/17 Cochise - seems like it is completely unchanged from last year's version including the topsheet. Is that correct?

That is correct, Brahma too

Brahma is the same shape with a different construction. It gets the carbon flip core treatment for this year.

Don't hear much about the regulator. Good candidate for an east coast everyday ski?

[smooth operator]

Looks like no Zero G Bodacious in the future. However there might be a new 116-114 waste in a light construction. We'll see. Just started testing new protos last month.

this one?

[twoturn]

Oh man!!!!! A light 114-116 waist Blizzard or Bodacious would be awesome.

[skibrd]

Would it be crazy to try to ski 193 gunsmokes with TLT6Ps? OR should I just eat ramen for an extra month and cough up the cash for 192 108s?

If you're looking for an excuse to buy new gear you've come to the right place.....

[auvgeek]

this one?

Details, please?

Better hang on.

[skibrd]

Better hang on.

That bad, hum, I guess I do ski the Gunsmokes with RS140s now, and dropping to a 110ish flex boot might not work.

Sounds like ramen it is then...

[TAFKALVS]

It's not just the flex, it's the height of the cuff, rearward stiffness etc. 193 smokes are beastly skis.

[wasatchback]

^ what he said. I wouldn't say they're thy beastly especially if you're tall but yeah I can't imagine trying to drive that ski with that boot. 192 ZG108 might be a little easier, if you can find one.

Flex has nothing to do with it. You can ski a Gunsmoke just fine with a RS110 or Mach1 100, it's the total lack of power the TLT6 has. Really my TLT6s work for my zeroG95s, but I take a real boot when I pull the 108s out.

[skibrd]

I have the TLT6P's, so they have a little more backbone then regular TLT6s.

What I'd like is to have two pairs of touring skis, the 187 ZeroG 95s and something else bigger. I current have a pair of 193 scouts, but they just arnt quite right. What I was looking at was either a pair of 192 Bodacious, 193 Gunsmokes or 193 ZeroG 108s. I'm not super concerned about weight, more they they ski well. Maybe I'll just stick with the Scouts until I can find a pair of 193 ZeroG 108s.

[smooth operator]

the suspense thickens.....

[Rob Stokes]

Zero-g bodacious? Next years Spur is asymmetric apparently

[XavierD]

Zero-g bodacious?

No.

[nyskirat]

No.

It looks jibby to me.

[roQer]

Any information on next year Blizzard line, especially the Spur, beside becoming asymmetrical? Same dimensions as the current model?
