The iconic Bonafide, long-praised for its masterful combination of technical performance and all-mountain versatility, is made to attack the mountain with grace and precision. From crushing through crud, to laying it down on hard pack, to navigating your way through untouched pow in the trees, they’re the ultimate all-conditions daily driver for committed skiers. The TrueBlend Woodcore specifically targets the flex throughout the ski, with a softer tip and tail that keeps you nimble. Denser wood underfoot acts like a gas pedal, giving you the power and drive when you want to charge. Combined with a versatile sidecut and a reduced rocker profile, the Bonafide is the perfect blend of Austrian engineering and real-world testing that’ll keep you skiing confidently, even on those less-than-perfect days.

Rob G. tested this product
The Blizzard Bonafide is a very solid directional charger: It has a damp construction with two layers of titanal that absorbs vibrations before rattling your fillings. And, the Bonafides have great edge hold and stability at high speeds through variable terrain. Former racers and aggressive skiers who like to drive the ski aggressively through the tip will love...

Jamie made this SO easy
5 /5
I didn't know this website existed until this week and I am obsessed. It made it so easy to find what I wanted, and Jamie did the work to create a super digestible list so I could make my final decision. He was able to explain everything and the difference between products. Highly recommend.

Vincent is A-W-E, S-O-M-E
5 /5
Shopping for a new board for the first time in (gasp) 17 years! I have been riding a Burton Feelgood and while I still love the board, it's time to see how things have changed. Vincent helped with selecting a few boards, and then was super patient with me while I popped back in...day after day, looking through things, reading reviews, spending lots of time overthinking my decision....all the while Vincent was there checking in to see if I needed help. And when I did he was super responsive in answering all my questions. Was leaning toward the Burton Feelgood again, but decided to try something new and "settled" on the Arbor Swoon Camber. Can't wait to ride my new board!

Frankie was amazing!
5 /5
This was my first time buying a snowboard and Frankie made it easy. He was extremely knowledgeable and had my best interest in mind. He responded very quickly and was always glad to help. He also didn't pressure me at all during the shopping process and helped me find the best possible board and deal.

Frankie is the best!
5 /5
Honestly don’t know anything but Frankie guided me and provided me with knowledgeable information for my first ever board and gear! Also possibly Frankie could somehow be a wizard because I told him if he can somehow get the boss (my wife) to somehow some way says yes for me to getting the gear then imma get it! And she magically said yes. So Frankie is a wizard… so great and easy person to get along with!

Kat was so helpful!
5 /5
Kat was so patient with all my questions and truly helped me figure out what gear would work best for me! She recommended me a good couple of boards and went into detail on each one and what the different features were and how they’d benefit me. As someone who buys for looks and pretty colors, I’m glad I had help to be confident in my purchase for my ride style and experience level!
