One down from the throne in Blizzard's Magnum range is the 8.1, is an all-mountain carver. It's scope is to satisfy advanced to expert skiers, with a blend of 50% groomed, 50% back-country performance - a modern day X-Scream if any of you can remember that far back!
So versatility, pretty good grip on firm, groomed runs and adequate floatation for knee deep powder with 81 mm underfoot. The Magnum is a solid-performer rather than a virtuoso one - they are good but not searing with any passion in any one field - but that is what makes the magnum 8.1 a great all-round mountain ski for the majority of recreational skiers looking for a one ski does it all job!
Blizzard updates its line by incorporating its best construction throughout, and the Magnum 8.1 IQ is the latest to benefit. The Powerframe technology gives extra mass above the edges. The sidewall construction brings gripping power to these higher-end skis. Together with the IQ System, this blend results in incomparable versatility.
