Blizzard 2012/13 ski preview - Gunsmoke and Kabookie

Today I was invited to go ski Squaw with a bunch of local ski shop employees and owners and try out the awesome new lineup of Blizzard Skis 2012/13 product.  I skied two skis that are new for next year, the Gunsmoke, which is a fat rockered twintip, 140/114/130 with rocker in the tip and tail, and camber underfoot. These things ripped, held an edge well on groomers and were incredibly easy to ski everywhere! I also spent some time on the Kabookie, which is a lighter version of the venerable Bonafide, which is my go to ski for all my backcountry missions.  I was impressed by the stability and edge hold of the Kabookie even though it lacks the 2.5 sheets of titanal that the Bonafide boasts.  Nice job again Blizzard. The skis rip.



With snow on the way for this weekend, things are looking good here!!!!Bring it on!

Been playing around with a new GoPro mounting setup, this one seems to be the best, but the arm fell off, i left it unglued so i could move it around to find the best angle, but it blew up on a little jump....now i have to buy a new handlebar mount. lame.
