If you were previously familiar with any other Blizzard ski, chances are it was the Cochise. Though its several reconceptualizations, the Cochise has always been known for being a heavy hard-charger that can be ridden in any conditions. It’s the heart and soul of Blizzard’s freeride skis, and this most recent version was created with the intent of getting more people riding the Cochise, without compromising on its burly charging capabilities.
The Cochise is a serious ski, and we’re excited to see it being broadcasted to a wider audience than ever before. The Cochise is a demanding ski despite the efforts Blizzard has made to make it more accessible. That being said, it’s an all-mountain ski that won’t hold you back, and will return every investment that you make into it.
Things we like:
-
Deadly downhill precision and powder
-
Feels damp at speed even on bad snow
-
Capable of blasting through anything in its path
-
This version is lighter and has a shorter turn radius to make it more accessible
Things we don't like:
-
Despite considerations to make it more accessible, it’s still too much ski for entry level skiers
-
Weight is good for skis like this, but the Cochise has always been very heavy and this latest version is no exception.
- Sandwich Compound Sidewall
- Carbon Flipcore Construction Tips and Tails
- Dual Titanal Plating
- Rounded Tips for Durability
- Fiberglass Laminate
