Ask Luke a question about this product:
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.

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.

2023 Bonafide 97
Originally posted at www.blizzard-tecnica.com on Jul 12, 2023Bought this ski last year and I love it. This ski has incredible performance for its mid 90 MM waist width. I have yet to find another ski with the amount of edge hold, stability and power that this Bonafide offers. Only criticism I have is for Off-Piste performance… compared to other skis it takes a bit more muscle to use in such terrain, but if you are a strong pilot and can handle this type of build you really can’t go wrong with the Bonafide.

Fantastic ski!
Originally posted at www.blizzard-tecnica.com on Jan 15, 2023I’ve had this ski for a couple winters and lots of days on all types of snow. It’s the best all mountain ski I’ve ever been on. It handles all types of conditions very well.

Luke was amazing
5 /5
This was my first ever time buying ski’s and look guided me through it like he was a city tour guide. You cannot get a better person than Luke on curated. I was able to text him like he was a friend and ask question about certain skis and he would answer always in a great response quickly.

Alex Was extremely patient.
5 /5
Alex was extremely patient with me, it took me a couple months, to finally decide which board to get. Even when I ghosted him for several weeks, which I do feel bad about, he was kind and patient and saw all the way through to the end with me. Will be purchasing more from curated in the future and I hope it’s through Alex.

Jared was extremely knowledgeable!
5 /5
I really like how Curated approaches their sales process. With so many option the nuances between boards and sizes can make deciding on a board difficult. I loved that I could talk to Jared and bounce ideas off a real person who had a deep knowledge base. I looked at a ton of reviews and talked with shops, but I gained the most insight into my decision by chatting with Jared. He wasn't pushy and genuinely seemed stoked!

Amazing experience with Simon!
5 /5
Simon was incredibly knowledgable and patient, helping me find the perfect skis and bindings that fit my needs and budget. He went above and beyond to make sure I got the best deal, which allowed me to get my new dream "true blue" skis that I can always turn to for most days on the mountain. I can't wait to hit the slopes with confidence, knowing I have reliable gear thanks to Simon's expert guidance. Highly recommend working with him!

I had a great experience with Nate helping me find a new snowboard! I’ve been looking to elevate my rides and he gave me so much information but in such an organized fashion that I did not feel overwhelmed. He knows what he’s talking about and had first hand experience on the slopes ! I’m super satisfied with Nate’s help! I ended up buying a new board same day. So stoked for the new season.

Bobby made an overwhelming search, for the right gear for my son, a breeze. I don't know much about snowboarding, so having Bobby's informative guidance helped me determine what would be best for my kiddo! I'm excited to watch him unwrap this gift, and start the season off right! Thank you Bobby!

Tristan was very helpful in pointing me in the right direction. He's got me looking good and feeling good next time i'm on the slopes.
5 /5
I kind of had an idea about what i was looking for, but Tristan helped me really get dialed in with the perfect gear. He helped me with sizing the board because i was torn between getting a wide board or not. He did a great job at explaining what he liked about certain products, so it was very helpful when picking out my stuff. The prices that i have seen for some of this gear on this website is incredible. Tristan really knows his stuff and i couldn't recommend him more.
