Yeah, I got the regular graphic B97 before they announced the shop Thermo graphic, always wanted a pair . . .

[klauss]

Throwback graphic Bonafide 97’s for $399 at Evo right now: https://www.evo.com/outlet/skis/blizzard-bonafide-shop

I don’t need a pair, but I kinda want some 183’s. [emoji6]

Hell yeah.

Still take mine out on the regular, though I had to breach the geneva convention to get my pair

Loved seeing this edit again. You were killing it on what sure sounds like dust on crust. Maybe the Bonafide 97’s will help me be half as competent in those conditions. [emoji16]

Looks like there was some positive feedback from the Hustler 11 last season.
I'm looking for a new pair of touring skis for Western Canada (mainly the rockies and into eastern BC). Coming off 187 Hojis (previous generation).

Trying to decide between the new 191 cm Hoji 4 Lock ( I would love to get rid of tail clips) and the H11 in a 188. Any other feedback that TGR knows of that could help me make a decision?

6FT, 93 Kgs.

I'm looking for a new frontside ski (since it is mostly hard and icy in Scandinavistan). Now I'm on the 180 cm Brahma which I love but would like to have a more race-like ski as well. My son has a pair of Volkl Racetiger GS (180 cm, r=19, 67 mm waist), so I have skied them a bit. I can get the Firebird HRC in 180 cm at an OK price. Has anyone here skied the HRC and if so what do you think?

Firebird HRC rips, but I would go with a 174 if you like the Brahma in 180 (they are not light, I think the next size is 182). Another great one this season is the Atomic Redster Q9.8.

R87 in 182 was my decision. I didn’t want a front side ski with an ~18m radius (R87 is 23m), so was considering a masters GS ski, but R87 should be much more versatile than that.

I’m trying to resist the R87.

In debating whether my 13 year old kid (5'6, 110 lbs) should be on Rustler Team or an adult ski, I noticed that the Blizzard website shows the Rustler/Sheeva Teams having the exact same specs (dimensions, radius, weight) as the adult Rustler/Sheeva 9 in the 148 and 164 lengths. Are the Teams and the shorter 9s the same ski with different topsheets?

Curiously they differ at 156/157 lengths, with the Teams spec'd at 1410g for 156cm, and the 9 at 1630g for 157, and other dimensions the same.

Located in the Spokane Valley. Somebody snag these! (From FB Marketplace)

First the bodes i found that were mounted with shifts, and now this 'touring ski'...

What are the GP smoking cause I don't want it.

But the techs said that those bodes never had a base grind (you could eyeball the convex) and were convinced that it was still on the factory tune; concluded 1 or 2 were done in 10 years. So I'll gladly take their unused skis in that case.

Question for the shop guys….anybody else having trouble finding/getting into the Blizzard/Tecnica Academy this year? Looking for the training/to get into the BlizzTech shop site. (usually is up and running by now)

It looks to me like that family of brands including Nordica left the platform and went to Endvr which is too bad because that app is terrible.

Yeah, refuse to use ENDVR or participate in their stupid space travel games.

It's true. Blizzard/Tecnica is now officially on ENDVR. All pro deals and SGGG points will be done through the app, not the manufacturer's website. Went live as of yesterday.

Thanks for the heads up….sucks, cuz their Academy/Pro deals were very efficient/easy to order.

*Update: went on app…passed all the quizzes…have everything all unlocked, but when clicking the link to shop, the page goes blank. (maybe shop isn’t “live” yet?”

*Do you know if you have to re register now that it is a new platform? (my previous information/passwords are not working.). It’s asking for an entry code (which is new)…..I’ll have to ask the shop owner as well…

Yes, I had to get a temporary passcode, then create a new one for ENDVR. Not sure about the Blizzard/Tecnica store, it's possible they don't have the SGGG or pro deal stuff in stock yet.

Try closing and reopening the app, mine is good to go for shopping. The entry code is the one you get after passing the quizzes.

In…thanks guys…need some new boots.

Doing some fall ski shop (garage) prep for the season and these ended up together. Thought a “flip core” family photo was in order.

How are the Hustle 10 and 11? Had a pair of Rustler 11s in a 188 but just didn't feel like I could drive them in deep snow otherwise id lose float and fall over the front. Love the ski otherwise though. Trying to find something a bit more fun/less demanding than an Atomic Backland 107 for touring. I really like it, but just want something that is a bit better in variable snow.
