We're going to let you in on a secret—the Blizzard Titan Argos IQ and FR 16 Binding package might be the best deal on the planet for aggressive backcountry experts in need of new planks. The Argos IQ is a big, solid, metal-sandwich wood core ski that's ready and waiting to crush huge lines like its older brother the Kreitler Pro, but where the Kreitler is just plain massive, the Argos is a bit slimmer, nimbler and more versatile. Versatile enough to slap the brand new 16-DIN Marker Duke AT Binding on it and start skinning up Superior for freshies—so that's exactly what Blizzard decided to do. See, the FR 16 Binding in this Blizzard package actually IS the Marker Duke. There's no mistaking the snub-nosed toepiece, bright red heel spring, and underfoot tour / ski lever. It may not be the lightest touring setup out there, but it's got serious big-mountain balls to back it up, and you can't beat the combination without dropping a ton of dough. *FR 16 Binding included, size Small (see size chart).

Bottom Line: You're a fool if you let this powder huffing, couloir bombing package pass you by.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

No it doesn't. They've made the IQ system wider, so now it's IQ max. The slider only fits IQ max.

WATCH OUT

Watch out!
These straightish fatty's are fantastic in all conditions. Really happy with them after having tried numerous fat skis from other mainstream companys. Including Vokyl Mantra's (Bent after 1 week skiing, not impressed). However...One small but significant problem ------WHEN MOUNTING THE SKIS DO NOT USE THE SUPPLIED SCREWS. THEY ARE TWO LONG AND MINE PUSHED OUT and WARPED THE BASE. How they could be supplied with too long screws is unforgivable!! Apart from the lump in the base of mine they ski great!!!

Is the teleadaptor plate by Blizzard compatible with the Rottefella

Is the teleadaptor plate by Blizzard compatible with the Rottefella NTN plate? Also, does that seem excessive having three parts (teleadaptor plate, NTN plate and NTN binding) between your boot and ski?

Breaking the Stigma

Reverse camber skis, twin tip skis, race skis and mid-fat skis. Seeing a pattern here? It is the niche ski and it has taken over a lot of the ski market.
Enter the Titan Argos from Blizzard, a ski that actually fits a term that the ski industry has been trying to accomplish for years: an excellent all-around conditions ski.
Like to carve GS to long slalom arcs on groomed? no problem. A good side cut with a softer straight flex, but a stiff torsional flex takes care of that.
What about floating in the pow (2 feet plus) or busting the crud? With near massive dimensions and a bit of an upturned tip, tracked or untracked powder is a blast!
Not a resort skier? Not a problem. This sucker comes with the Blizzard IQ FR16, which is basically a Marker Duke binding, one of the best downhill performing touring bindings in the business!
Overall, want to buy a TON of skis to do everything on the hill. That's fine, but you can buy JUST THIS SETUP and do everything on the hill!

I talked to to blizzard rep at Alta Demo Days on 4/5/08. He had tele bindings on IQ inserts that will be available soon, and will fit these skis
