Blizzard's Bonafide series has long been known for it's unique combination of performance and all-mountain versatility, made for grace and precision. The Bonafide 97 is the ultimate all-condition tool for carving up anything the mountain can throw at you. While TrueBlend Woodcore produces a targeted flex throughout the ski but with a softer tip and tail for precise carving through tough terrain and rough. Denser wood underfoot gives you the power to charge hard. A versatile sidecut and reduced rocker profile make the Bonaifde the perfect blend for true all mountain performance.

FEATURES

  • TrueBlend Woodcore - a unique balanced blend of woods tailored to the performance needs of each Blizzard all-mountain ski, harder flex in the center and softer in the tip and tail for more forgiveness and easy power release
  • Double Ti Construction - two Titanium sheets and a reduced rocker profile leads to better grip on harder snow but is versatile enough for a variety of conditions
  • Carbon Flipcore Technology - rockered ski construction incorporating a uni-directional carbon frame onto the core, resulting in great performance and a light, playful feel on any terrain
  • Sandwich Compound Sidewall - Blizzard skis are built with ABS or Phenol sidewalls for superior performance, stability, power transmission, handling and durability

For any skier there is no "one perfect length" ski. We recommend starting based on your weight and skier ability, then modifying the length based on how aggressive the skier is and the terrain the skier prefers to ski in. Height does play a role in some situations but has the smallest impact on choosing the correct length for most skiers. Please use the following charts to determine the best length for your needs.

Adult Ski Chart

Weight (lbs) Beginner Intermediate  Advanced/Expert
100-109 139 143 147
110-119 144 146 150
120-129 146 150 154
130-139 150 154 159
140-149 154 159 163
150-159 160 164 169
160-169 165 169 173
170-179 170 174 178
180-209 172 176 180
210-219 175 178 180
220+ 178 180 182

*If height is greater than 6'2" and weight is less than 170lbs start with 170lbs category. If height is less than 5'2" and weight is greater than 150lbs start with the 140lbs category.


Once a base length is determined we make two final modifications.

Skiing Style

Cautious minus 3 cm
Average no change
Aggressive plus 3 cm

 *Skiing style is not determined by skill range.  Many athletic beginners may choose aggressive if they are prefer to ski fast but are still learning technique.  Advanced skiers may choose cautious if they prefer to ski at lower speeds and are primarily concerned about control.

Skiing Terrain

Groomed/Frontside no change
All Mountain plus 3 cm
All Mountain/Powder plus 6 cm
Freestyle plus 3 cm

 

Once a final length is determined any ski within 3cm longer or shorter is the ideal range for a skier.  If a final length is 174cm, then skis 171-177cm are in the ideal range.  If two lengths of a ski fall into an ideal range the shorter length will typically offer more control where the longer length will offer more stability at speed.
