Blizzard Magnum 7.6 IQ (2009)
Of all the so-called "sport-level" skis that testers thought could keep an expert happy, this one's the poster child. The merest tipping rewards a novice with instant carved turns. But thanks to a powerful binding and Blizzard's slop-free IQ interface, the upside is huge, even though there's no metal and the core's only about half wood. Such forgiveness and precision in the same ski? Truly a feat. "Light, easy to turn and super calm even at speed," said Hochman.
