Bonafide 97 2024
60 days to change your mindThe Bonafide 97 2024 is an all-mountain freeride ski for men from Blizzard.
The iconic Blizzard model, the Bonafide 97 stands out for its versatility, responsiveness and agility!
The Bonafide 97 is the perfect ski for good skiers looking for a freeride ski with reasonable sidecut to maintain good on-piste performance. This ski features all of Blizzard's most advanced technologies. The combination of Carbon Flipcore technology (unidirectional carbon fibre in the tip and tail), two titanium plates and a very solid wood core (TrueBlend Flipcore), make this Bonafide unshakeable. In addition, the denser wood in the waist and the softer wood in the tip and tail will allow you to push it to its limits and combine speed and manoeuvrability.
The Bonafide 97 is a ski that stands out for its performance and alpine character, with a flatter tail than the skis in the Rustler range. This gives it more heel presence, better attack and superior rebound. Thanks to its shorter radius than its big brother, the Cochise, it's easier to handle, which can be useful in the forest or on narrow freeride routes.
All in all, the Bonafide 97 is a ski for good and very good skiers. It's versatile and will let you ski intensely, whether on piste or freeride, in all conditions.

Shape and construction:
Sidewall Construction:
Integrated partial sidewall to ensure better energy transfer, along with precision and stability from the structure. Distributes pressure evenly along the length of the ski.
The result: torsional rigidity created by the integrated side edges which improves ski performance.
Rocker Camber Rocker:
The traditional camber profile distributes pressure evenly and gradually from the tip to the tail, maximising edge retention throughout the turn.
The result: you can press down on the skis to feel the edges and the power of the ski.
Dura-Tec:
The aluminium tip protectors, the thick, textured cosmetic material and the rounded shape of the upper edge contribute to the durability of your skis.
The result: all these protections are present to prolong the life of your skis
Trueblend Flipcore:
The wooden cores are designed to optimise flex and provide a soft, balanced feel. This technology also enables Blizzard to make skis that are extremely powerful but not difficult to use. Each product family has a separate Trueblend to optimise performance, control and confidence.
Core structure:
Poplar - Beech + Titanal plate + Carbon
Le Bonafide de Blizzard est une arme de freeride sur toutes les neiges. Avec son caractère beaucoup plus alpin que les skis de la gamme Rustler chez Blizzard, il conviendra bien à ceux qui recherchent avant tout de la stabilité et de la puissance sous le pied. Rigide, c'est un véritable char d'assaut lorsque vous rencontrez des neiges difficiles. Il flotte parfaitement en poudreuse et carver sur piste est complètement envisageable. Il faudra cependant avoir une bonne condition physique et un bon niveau technique pour tirer le maximum de ce ski.
Les plus: Sacrément stable, puissant, performant
Les moins: Forcément, ce n'est pas le ski le plus joueur
