Blizzard TA Evolution Skis 2008/09

Blizzard TA Evolution Skis 2008/09

Entry-level touring ski that bridges the gap between an extreme tourer and a regular Alpine ski. The Evolution comes with a 70 mm waist which is great for climbing up hills, light, easy and non too cumbersome - if the going down is deep though I hope you have reasonable technique as it is not much of a platform unless your technique is already reasonably proficient.
Coming in at 1370 g a ski the Evolution is a versatile model that is able on groomed runs and will provide reasonable grip through its Compound construction, but don't expect it to tear a decent carve unless the snow is pretty soft.

Personally I would go for the Free Cross if I was only touring a couple of hours a time, if you are a lover of skiing downhill then grab the FC, if you are more into cruising across or up hills then the Evo could be your bag!

The manufacturer says this about the Blizzard TA Evolution Skis 2008/09:

Fun and pleasure are the main goals for the user of this Blizzard tour model. The light-weight construction, easy manoeuvrability and stable skiing characteristics support every bon vivant of nature and outdoor experience.
