The Blizzard Bonafide 97 Skis are the ultimate all-conditions daily driver for committed skiers. These skis are designed to attack the mountain with grace and precision, making them perfect for crushing through crud, laying it down on hard pack, or navigating your way through untouched pow in the trees. 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 power and drive when you want to charge. Combined with a versatile sidecut and reduced rocker profile, these skis are engineered to keep you skiing confidently even on those less-than-perfect days.
Key Features:
- TrueBlend Woodcore: The TrueBlend Woodcore is designed to target flex throughout the ski for maximum performance.
- Versatile Sidecut: The versatile sidecut allows for easy maneuverability in any condition.
- Reduced Rocker Profile: The reduced rocker profile provides stability and control at high speeds.
- All-Mountain Versatility: These skis are perfect for all-mountain skiing in any condition.
- Austrian Engineering: Made with Austrian engineering expertise and real-world testing to ensure top-notch performance.

Brett R. owns this product
I love this ski so much that I have purchased it twice (in 2015 and 2022), and consider it to be the perfect all mountain charger and daily driver! If you are an advanced-expert skier who likes to drive your ski, appreciates a ski that makes you work a bit, and has no top speed, you will love this... Read more
Ideal for
- The Bonafide is a very strong, damp, and stable all-mountain ski.
- The Bonafide is a relatively stiff, powerful, hard charging ski, but the flex pattern is very smooth.
- The Bonafide will confidently carve trenches on groomers, bust crud and variable snow.
Not ideal for
- This is not a ski for intermediates.
- It is not heavy like a race ski, but it is not light either.
- You must have some technique to truly appreciate what this ski can offer, however this model is much more approachable than previous models.

Erik was great!
5 /5
Erik was very helpful in assisting me to pick out my first pair of skis and ski bindings! I am an intermediate-level skier but have always used rental skis, so when looking to buy my own, I didn't have much of a knowledge-base. Erik was very helpful in answering my questions and with narrowing down which skis would be a good fit for me, taking into consideration my height/weight, skill level, skiing strengths and weaknesses, and price range. Thank you very much, Erik!

This was my first time buying snow sport gear of any kind. Tyler used the information I gave him to give me some really great choices and get me all set up with a board, bindings, and a helmet. He was very responsive to my questions and had recommendations for sizes and settings that I would not have been able to figure out on my own. He was great!

Brandon Nailed My Snowboard Setup!
5 /5
Brandon was awesome! He helped me choose the perfect snowboard gear, a Burton Cartographer with boots and bindings. He made sure everything fit perfectly and even scored me a great deal. Super pumped with my setup, the setup worked perfect for Midwest and East coast riding! Thanks, Brandon!

Tyler was super helpful!
5 /5
Tyler made great recommendations and really took the time to understand where my skill level is at and where I intend to ski. Ultimately, I was uncomfortable making the investment without trying the skis first, so I ended up buying a pair that I had rented several times and really liked. I had so many questions and came very close to purchasing skis a few months ago but now I that I have nearly finished this season I have a better idea of what I was looking for!

Exactly the advice I needed to pick the right gear

Nico helped me decide what length Atomic Mavens to get and bindings. He helped me decide that these skis will work on East Coast ice and Jackson Hole powder. I wish Curated was sticking around because it's such a great service. My cousin bought skis bindings and boots last year with curated and is stoked.

Great help.
5 /5
Tyler helped to reassure me on the board I have been eying, while also suggesting the best options for boots and bindings; he never tried to push the most expensive option, but rather gave me a number of choices to consider for myself (and in fact, recommended a cheaper boot option than the one I went with!). He was a great help and I feel confident that he helped me make a solid purchase.

Additional Board
5 /5
I was looking at updating my board and was just looking around. After a quick chat with John to narrow down which board to pick, he made it easier than going into a store. He helped out with an additional discount that no other website could beat. Too hard to pass up a great deal, I bought the board and bindings. Cheers to debuting it before the season ends!

She knew exactly what I was looking for...
5 /5
I already knew what skis I was trying to find, based on the conditions I wanted to ski and also based on my skill level. Not only did she recommend the exact skis that I had been looking for, but she also recommended a better set of bindings than the ones I had previously thought were a good fit. I love that she's a neighbor over in VT while I'm in NH, so she knows East Coast (Ice Coast) skiing like I do. I'm so excited for the deal I just landed on brand new 2025 skis, and I have Shannon to thank for helping me narrow down the perfect fit. I'm just so sad to hear this amazing company is closing its doors, but while the deals are good and before they go, I will be recommending them to everyone I know! Thanks again, Shannon! Happy skiing!

Noah helped me tremendously. I kind of knew what I wanted but by asking the right questions, he helped point me in the best direction for my changing skill level and age and kind of terrain I'd be skiing more since moving to a different state. He took everything into account. He gave me choices for each item I wanted---skis, bindings, poles---and put together a perfect curation! I'm super stoked to be able to take advantage of the discounts of course, but I never would've been able to do that or even find such great equipment without Noah's help!
