In 2014 and 2015 our review of the Blizzard Cochise started like this... 'If you remember the show Home Improvement with Tim 'The Toolman' Taylor who wanted 'More Power!' you better believe if he skied he'd be on the Blizzard Cochise. Boasting a 108 and 2 1/2 sheets of metal under foot and 2 sheets for the rest of the ski, it's not a ski for the faint of heart.' The 2017 Cochise is a hell of a lot easier to ski than it was before, the carbon tip and tail lower the swing weight and the new tapered shape make it more maneuverable when the terrain demands it.
Full Sidewall - A full Sandwich Sidewall construction provides unrivaled edge hold, as well as superior edge control and durability.
Full Wood - A full wood core delivers energetic snow feel and hard charging stability.
Two Sheets of Titanal - With two full sheets of titanal, the Cochise gives you an unbelievable amount of power and response. There is absolutely no speed limit, TIP IT and RIP IT!
Flip Core Natural Rocker - Other manufacturers have to be bend rocker profiles into their skis. Blizzard presses the Cochise with a flipped wood core. By doing this, they are creating an upside down ski! This keeps the skis core fully intact, giving it unparalleled energy and integrity.
Rocker Tip & Tail with a Flat Zone Underfoot - Surfy feel through powder, catch-free tip and tail, super smooth edge control and solid edge hold directly underfoot.
The Blizzard Cochise does not come with a binding. We recommend you use a binding that will accommodate your skiing needs (backcountry, touring, all-mountain, freestyle etc.). Be sure the brake width and release settings will work for your particular activity. Questions about what's best for you, contact an expert at TheSkiMonster.com.
Recommended Binding: Marker Jester.
