With the Titan Cronus Blizzard have created a great all-mountain ski for the advanced to expert skier with scope for longevity and real-world skiing. If you want to ski occasionally on the groomed trails, with family, friends etc, but prefer the back-country, touring and virginal powder then the Cronus should be the first pair [...]

Bruising big mountain skis with a super-solid construction and hefty 101 mm side-cut. Reinforced through the mid-section for enhanced grip under-foot on firm, variable conditions the Argos IQ should handle fast freeride-all-mountain skiing like a carpenter wields an axe - they will chop, carve and power their way through. A strong ski for the [...]
Tamer siblings to the Sl 12, a great ski. A touch more forgiving, not that the standard 12’s aren’t forgiving for the expert. Perhaps the advanced skier looking for their first pair of slalom skis would enjoy the 11’s or, if they are very light, then the 10’s.
Sharing a similar side-cut to [...]
Almost identical to the GS 11 but somewhat tamer flex - the profiles are mirrored throughout the size range. For the advanced skier rather than expert the GS 10 is much more forgiving, as they will also prove for lighter skiers. Check out the review for the GS 11 for further details.

Lighter, easier and tamer, think of a Labrador! The “Bluemoon” is not some dubious den of disrepute but a very easy-going pair of intermediate skis.

As the tail is narrower there [...]
A great ski that begins to pack a punch to interest the aggressive advanced skier or expert looking for a cruise. With 79 mm under-foot you can head pretty much anywhere - great for spring snow, fair int he bumps and adept in fresh powder, as long as it is not up to [...]
Now in their second season the Atomic Nomad range spans 9 different pairs of skis, the Blackeye is cosseted firmly in the centre.Sporting a 79 mm waist this is no “Super-Model” slim slalom ski but a very nimble all-rounder with a light core, and agile manners.Very easy to get along with on the groomed [...]
Top of the Atomic’s Nomad range. The Nomad’s are thoroughly versatile skis and the Crimson Ti doesn’t disappoint with its 86 mm waist and all-purpose medium-radius side-cut.
The latest model felt much more powerful than the original Crimson and I was surprised how aggressive one can ski on the Crimson Ti. This in [...]
Range topping Drive ski, the Carbon II is technology crammed for the smoothest, easiest and most flowing arcs on the mountain. This is a ski with executive appeal, a Merc’ S-Class, powerful but refined, laden with technology to make your life more comfortable and apt in virtually any situation - other than a [...]
