Pros: Best 98mm ski of 2012
Cons: Mayyybe the graphics
After testing about 15 98mm skis for the 2012 season, I have come to the conclusion that the Blizzard Bonafide is the best of the bunch. The way the Bonafide handles all snow conditions from hardpack to 3 feet of powder in unrivaled in it's class. If I had to take only ONE ski with my..eas, west, north or south, it would be the Bonafide. Blizzard hit the nail on the head with this ski, it does ski that good. Believe the hype.
