Blizzard was established in 1945 in a home workshop. The company started experiencing success in the 1950s when they first mass-produced polythene ski bases. In the early parts of the 21st century, the brand was sold to Tecnica Group, and this now serves as the mother company.
Blizzard has won many international sporting events, with their most recent win being the 2014 gold medal in the Olympic Slalom. The company has also been awarded the Ispo award. It was actually the first Ski brand to receive this award two years in a row. The company got this prize because of their IQ technology. With this technology, ski and binding are integrated perfectly and work together for an optimal performance in the sport. The company also produced the first temperature controlled ski in the world. This was the Thermo-Ski.
Blizzard freeride skis are made with Carbon Flipcore and two sheets of metal. This construction offers an easier and lighter sporting experience. Cochise is one of the legendary freeride skis in the Blizzard collection. It is specifically designed for experts or well-advanced skiers who intend to become professionals. The Rustler is another impressive and perfectly-made freeride ski. This one can accommodate upper intermediate and advanced skiers. The core of the ski is made with carbon, titanal, and light wood, so users will find it quite easy to use. In other words, it doesn't take a lot of strength for a person to ski using this product.
These products are used to ski in unmarked or ungroomed terrain. One of the flagship models in this category is the Quattro RS. It is designed with a full camber profile, and that makes it one of the few Blizzard models without any rocker. It also uses the XCell 12 binding system, Blizzard carving technology, titanal laminates and carbon fibre. This construction makes it responsive and powerful on firm snow. Blizzard Alight can be classified as a piste ski, but it is also used on groomed snow. This ski is specifically designed for women. It is one of the two Blizzard skis that use metal.
