Ask Edward 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.

Vincent is amazing!!
5 /5
This was my first time purchasing my own snowboarding equipment; I naturally had hundreds of questions. I am also on a budget so it took me some time until I was able to purchase everything. He was very informative and patient. He explained the differences in his recommendations, not looking for a quick sell like others might have done. He took all my abilities and concerns into consideration before making a recommendation. Afterwards I still had questions about the particular snowboard and he walked me through everything.

Rob helps me so much!
5 /5
Rob is very knowledgeable about a wide range of outdoor gear. He is often in touch with me and reads my mind and seems to know when I need something. I like the combination of online savings and Rob’s personal expertise. It’s like walking into a pro shop, but I’m hanging out in my living room (or in the case of this review, sitting on a plane.). Highly recommend!

From the getgo you can tell he's super knowledgeable in all the different board specs! The options he curated for me were great at a glance. I went and did more research here and around and still the best choice for me was exactly what he recommended! That is extra reassuring when it comes to large purchases like this and since all of these pieces will the first in my collection. Thank you so much Jason!

Awesome experience with Chris!
5 /5
Chris was fast to respond. Very knowledgeable and provided a couple of great options. He put together an amazing package for my intermediate teenage daughter who at times is quite a nervous skier. I feel very confident she will progress well with the chosen equipment and give her some extra confidence on the slopes. Congratulations to Curated for having such great technology and allowing me to view all the options easily and chat so effortlessly online. And all from

Schuyler is a solid dude, honest, and knowledgeable. I was dreading to buy all this equipment and clothes for our first trip in December. Schuyler made it easy and gave multiple options without request. Especially when it came to the kids even double checked my ordered to make sure everything jammed.

Mike was incredibly helpful! Along with sending me perfect recommendations for my beginner skill level and etc, he sent me a few YouTube videos to explain some things a bit better.
