Anyone with direct experience or feedback on these boards ? I've read reviews, heard some good things, and would appreciate any additional data as I try to compile everything on this board. Think it would fit a niche nicely in my board line-up.

Never been on a Blizzard ski, but they had a nice review in Skiing. 80mm underfoot should give you lots of terrain and condition options. I love how 80 is the new 70. Ski technology is a wonderful thing. What else you got in your line up?

Head IM 88 - 186's - big powder, off-piste, crud, and, lastly groomers. But a turn radius that's a bit big for tighter Eastern trees.

K2 Axis, 192's (I think), for carving, groomers, and a-ok in less deep powder.

The Blizzard's sound like they'd fit in nicely right between those two pairs - probably the go to board for my primary ski place - the Mad River Valley. They apparently have quite a cult following because they carve, float, and bust crud with a 16m turn radius - perfect for those tighter shots.
