Blizzard Bonafide 97 51939618

The Blizzard Bonafide 97 is an all-mountain ski designed for riders who spend most of their time on groomed runs but still want the option to explore softer snow. With a waist width of 97 mm, it sits in Blizzard’s Backside category (89–100 mm), offering a balanced feel for varied conditions.

This ski blends responsive edge-to-edge performance with enough surface underfoot to handle occasional off-piste turns. The flat binding mount lets you choose and adjust your own bindings to match your preferred setup, while the 2.2 kg per ski weight provides a stable, planted feel at speed without feeling overly sluggish on firmer snow.

The 17 m radius describes the ski’s inherent turn shape when it’s laid flat—a medium-sized radius that encourages smooth, controlled arcs rather than very tight or very long turns. The 136.5/97/118.5 mm profile (tip/waist/tail) influences how the ski enters and exits a turn: a slightly wider tip for reliable initiation, a narrower waist for quick edge changes, and a modestly wider tail for clean release at the end of each turn.

Blizzard says about theBonafide 97

The iconic Bonafide, long-praised for its masterful combination of technical performance and all-mountain versatility, is made to attack the mountain with grace and precision. From crushing through crud, to laying it down on hard pack, to navigating your way through untouched pow in the trees, they’re the ultimate all-conditions daily driver for committed skiers. The TrueBlend Woodcore specifically targets the flex throughout the ski, with a softer tip and tail that keeps you nimble. Denser wood underfoot acts like a gas pedal, giving you the power and drive when you want to charge. Combined with a versatile sidecut and a reduced rocker profile, the Bonafide is the perfect blend of Austrian engineering and real-world testing that’ll keep you skiing confidently, even on those less-than-perfect days.
