A consensus favorite at last spring's industry testing sessions, the Blizzard Cochise Skis have been completely re-designed around the Carbon Flip Core concept.
The two sheets of Titanal are still there, but no longer go wall-to-wall, and the swing weight and vibrational mass have been reduced with the new carbon tip and tail.
Skiers who thought the older Cochise models required too much commitment will be pleasantly surprised by how versatile the 2016 Cochise is.
Don't get us wrong, this ski doesn't ski itself, and it'll still charge as hard as you dare - but it also floats better in variable snow and turns more readily at moderate speed.

Reducing the pressure on the edge at the tip and tail makes the ski even easier to handle and increases floatation on powder snow.
The camber guarantees great grip on packed snow in any case.
The sidewall built into the ski construction provides the following advantages:
- Improved transmission of skier’s movements to edge
- Constant pressure along the entire length of the ski
- Greater stability of the entire structure
- Impeccable control
- Maximum carving performance
Flipcore Technology revolutionized the perception of what a rockered ski could do.
Carbon Flipcore is the evolution of this revolutionary process and sets a new standard for performance in Freeride skis.
By integrating bi-directional carbon fiber into the rockered areas of the tip and tail,
we were able to further increase the stability and predictability of our Freeride skis.
The rockered sections feel calm and are less prone to vibration.
The carbon fiber material in the tip and tail also reduces the swing weight which makes the skis easier to maneuver.
From deep pow and skied up crud - to firm groomers and chalky bumps,
Carbon Flipcore gives you the feeling that you’re even more connected to the snow than ever before.
