Blizzard may not be a name too familiar to the average park rider.
Having skied and enjoyed other Blizzard skis in the past I was optimistic about what these skis could offer.
One thing I did question the rep on was the mount point.
There is a scale on the ski with recommended being 0cm which is 6cm behind center.
One thing I was noticing however was I was struggling with the lack of tail.
I would personally have preferred the mount further forward.
These skis will certainly suit a more freeride pop in rider then a true park rat.
Although I still had fun they are not the most playful of skis, but they did go fast.
Most skis I like are around 100mm underfoot with some tip and tail rocker.
One thing I want to touch on is something I don’t usually mention, graphics.
The current version of this ski in my opinion looks pretty bad.
The new versions, although quite Rossi “7” in style do look good I think.
Anyway back to the skis.
The Peacemaker is slightly softer then the Gunsmoke and I was finding it much more playful.
The edge hold was just as consistent as the Gunsmoke.
I really enjoyed the Peacemaker and its skis like this that really make me enjoy testing.
