Blizzard seems to be the hot ski lately. I don't know how much I'd use those around here, but they have some others that i'd really like to have.

I spent a day back in mid December at Mount Snow's demo day just going back and forth to the Blizzard truck. I skied 4 pairs, of basically just front side power carvers and GS race skis. They're making a VERY good product these days. Almost seems like they've taken the philosphy along the lines of "let's just build some kick a$$ skis, that we as skier's would want to be on, and then let the real skier's find us" rather than just build a product to cater to the mass market skier and then add a few other's that hopefully real skiers will want.

Almost like how Nordica went about building their ski market share

I've heard Blizzard has some ex-Volkl engineers designing their skis these days, so it doesn't surprise me that they are top-notch.

Correct!! There was quite the exodus a few years back.
