Blizzard Answer IQ-Max Ski w/ Slider Plate
My One-Ski Quiver
By Chris Tatsuno

The Answer was Blizzard's response to our Blizzard North American Freeride Team's input, and I am so stoked to see it come to fruition. It is a truly versatile ski that I've found myself using for a competition just as easily as on a mellow day skiing with friends. With a softer flex in the tip and tail, the ski lets me shred in an aggressive stance without sitting back.
My favorite detail on the ski is the IQ Max slider system. It allows me to swap out between Marker Dukes and Marker Jesters based on the game plan for the day. One screw makes it easy to remove the binding and place it on another Blizzard ski, or you can slide in an in-bounds binding instead. So rad!
