I have a quiver....

.....and I've been very happy with my 175cm Blizzard Titan Eight's. Bought specifically for a resort/lift accessed New England all-mountain, multi-purpose board.

I researched pretty thoroughly on these, and at Mad River Glen this year they went beyond expectation on hardpack, boilerplate, pow, and bumps. Cruise very nicely, too.

I would use my Head Monster IM88's for big dumps and big crud or "set up" chopped pow, but note the 16M turning radius, slightly soft tip, and legendary Blizzard (Austrian) edging. They didn't disappoint, and I bought blind....based on numerous reviews....hoping they'd deliver. For me, they did. I've actually thought about buying a second pair to hold in my basement, not knowing about whether in 3 or 4 years they'll still make the ski.
