Tested & reviewed: Blizzard Bonafide 97 (2021)

We had a real early chance for testing a bunch of interesting skis coming season 2020/2021. Here is a what our four test riders thought of the new Blizzard Bonafide 97.

This is truly a great ski.

If I love the Blizzard Brahma 82 will I love this as a more off piste focussed ski? I ride the 180cm - what should I get in the Bonafide 97?

[@lassivaatamoinen5468]

I'd say the Bonafide 97 is a 50/50 ski, so there would be overlap with your Brahma 82 for on-piste. Also, Bonafide won't be an effortless off-piste ski, in a sense. If you are thinking Blizzards, maybe look into Rustler 10 for more off-piste oriented performance?

The only thing I learned here is that the interviewer doesn't know how to pronounce blizzard.
