Blizzard Bonafide (2012)
Tester's Review
Like Nordica's Hell & Back (above), the Bonafide sits in the middle, widthwise, of a new multipupose series. It's perfect " for the day after a big dump," one tester said, because it floats via tip and tail rocker but carves clean and powerful arcs when laid on edge. Ski it aggressively or back off a little and smear--its highest scores were in versatility, so take it anywhere.
PRICE (MSRP): $850.00
PRICE (MAP): $700.00
