Blizzard Answer IQ Ski w/ FR 16 Binding

Looking for a backcountry-ready twintip with crust-busting, crud-munching traditional construction? You re asking for the Blizzard Answer IQ Ski and the FR 16 Binding. The Answer IQ is exactly that: a fat, floaty twin with tons of guts, ready to hike for home-built booters and bound through the pow, but all the while hiding a titanium-reinforced wood core that makes choppy crud feel like a freshly resurfaced freeway. This ski goes anywhere you want to, airing out cliffs and dominating chutes with confidence, then laying down smooth lines on groomers like a lounge singer thanks to vertical-sidewall edge hold. When that gets boring, well you can just switch the bombproof FR 16 bindings into touring mode, skin back up, and hit it all switch.
