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!

Yeah, they'll fit!

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!!

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.

Got my 180 Bonafides - one word for them: AMAZING. They handled the powder and crud so well!!! Taking them to CO (skiing Brekenridge and Vail) this Prez day weekend - heard Vail got 4 feet recently! Any members from CO?
