Blizzard Bonafide (2013)
Tester's Review
The Bonafide is, at 98 millimeters underfoot, the most versatile shape in Blizzard's much praised Free Mountain series. We loved it last season. This year's no different: The Bonafide danced nimbly through trees, smeared crud, and crushed groomers in any turn shape we could think of. Perhaps most striking is its ability to transition from locked-in, race-ski carve to fully disengaged, speed-scrubbing smear in moments. And it has huge accessibility: expert chargers and advancing skiers alike will love it.
