Default Blizzard Bonafides

Will they fit in the A6? ok, now that I made this thread A6 relevant; Does anyone else own them? Are they as good as they make them sound in the reviews? I have mine on order for the 2014 model - along with the Marker Griffon bindings.... can't wait!!

ps - I figured there will be a lot of skiers on this site due to the quattro angle!

They are good, but the Cochise is better. The extra width is really appreciated when there is fresh snow, and it isn't a detriment on the groomed. Plus, the rocker profile makes them ski smoother. The Bonafides have an early rise tip and camber underfoot.

Yeah, they'll fit!

hmm.. interesting - when I called Blizzard they had the Cochise in stock and the 2013 Bones were sold out, but I decided to wait until next season just to get the bonafides - the new shipment comes in summer from Austria. I'm replacing a 105 underfoot Blizzard Titan Argos - stable at heck, but did require some work in the groomers. Epipski and all the other review sites are ga-ga over them!

Tomorrow is probably going to the last day for this season - can't decide between Kirkwood and Heavenly!!

They are ga ga over the Cochises too.... and they are better. I'm tellin ya! Do it. They ski nothing like the Argos. WAAAAAY easier to ski. VERY confidence inspiring. I also had some 187 Argos and when it was time for new skis, I bought some 185 Cochises. After a week in Jackson Hole, I decided I could benefit from either more length or more width, so I gave those Cochises to my wife and got some 186 Bodacious.
