Why I recommend these
Expert verdict
The Blizzard Bonafide 97 Skis are a dream for advanced skiers who crave versatility and power. These skis handle everything from hard pack to powder with ease. The TrueBlend Woodcore offers a unique flex pattern, making them nimble yet powerful. I love how they plow through crud and still feel lively in the trees. However, they might be a bit demanding for beginners. If you're looking for a ski that can tackle any condition with confidence, these are a fantastic choice.

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.
