The BONAFIDE 97 from Blizzard is the perfect freeride ski for backcountry purists.
This model refines its performance in firm snow without losing its freeride edge. The Double Ti TrueBlend Flipcore, which uses different wood stringers in each zone of the ski and allows for adjustable, stiffer and softer flex for ultimate control in all conditions, is combined with two sheets of titanium for the classic feel that Blizzard is known for. The rocker profile has been reduced slightly and the radius has been reduced to give an even crisper feel when things firm up. It's as lively as a carving ski on piste, but the wider body makes it easy to adapt to varying snow conditions.
If you want precise response anywhere on the mountain, these skis are for you.

Sandwich compound sidewall construction: sandwich construction with double titanium layer and full wood core
Rocker-camber-rocker profile: camber underfoot and reduced rockers in the tip and tail to provide grip and maneuverability
Dual Ti TrueBlend Flipcore: uses different wood stringers in certain areas of the ski, which allows for precise flex adjustment, more or less rigid, for optimal results in all conditions
Flipcore technology: a manufacturing process that creates a camber where the ski is molded into its final rocker shape. The rocker shape is achieved without the need to bend the ski, providing natural flex, even pressure distribution throughout the ski, incredible lift in the powder and excellent stability
