Blizzard Bodacious Ski

Consider this: a big, wide, floaty ski that won't bash your teeth out with its tips when the shit hits the fan in chundery snow. Too many floaty powder skis are made with the core of a sloppy noodle, leaving you wishing you had saved that racer-plate from your junior racing days to give 'em a little more stability on anything that's not powder. Get real, folks. This ski is made for any, every, and all conditions, with one thing in mind: charging. What happens when the powder turns to crust to sun cups as you finish your run? Well, on the Bodacious, you'll find yourself jetting past your buddy who just endo'd face-first into some harshness and maintain your speed across the flats straight to apres.

Have used these on eastern ice,hard pack , snow gun piles and about four inches of fresh powder.
I am amazed how well they do it all. They look like they flop around, but they are very stable and fast turning at the same time. I am a big guy 275 lbs, so the grip has to be really good to work for me. I have the 180 but now think I could easily to to the 186.
Next week I will try these out in Utah ......yahoo!!!

I had one of the best powder days of my life last year on the 196 Bodacious. There was about 16" of new snow off the top of 9990 at the Canyons and I literally couldn't go fast enough on these guys. They felt so unbelievably stable at speed and were like having landing gears on my feet anytime I found myself in the air. The real kicker was not only were they super stable but at the same time they were super easy to maneuver in tight trees on the way back to the lift. Usually the really stable skis need to be muscled in tight spaces but not these guys. Easy to go 60 but just as easy to shut them down and ski tight terrain.

This ski is no joke. I skied the Bodacious almost exclusively from mid-February through the end of last season, in all conditions from deep blower in Utah, bottomless backcountry in Jackson, to mixed soft/firm/sun and wind affected snow in Aspen. The skis performed flawlessly in every condition. While being a damp, stable, no-speed limit charger, what's most remarkable is how versatile and user friendly the Bodacious is when the snow is less than perfect. They allow an equal amount of control and confidence whether charging big lines at speed or squirting through tree lines in the resort. My guess is the Flipcore construction, right flex, and spot-on rocker profile are perfectly matched to make this a true one ski quiver for Western resorts and backcountry. Guaranteed to keep you smiling all season long, regardless of what mother nature serves up.
