Versatile and enjoyable
Focusing more on the pleasure of skiing rather than on performance, the “Men Allround” models are made for more relaxed ski days. The middle class versions are reliable and relatively resistant to beginners' errors. Their strengths lie in their high stability at speed, low physical effort and easy turns on the slope.
After a competitive testing phase in Bad Kleinkirchheim for the 2019/2020 season, almost all of the models managed to reach the grade “very good”.
Target group: Male beginners, pleasure-seekers, moderately athletic skiers.
Test winner: Blizzard Firebird Ti
The powerful, yet effort-saving Blizzard Firebird Ti model is this year's winner. Its 38.5 points score it a "very good" grade and will delight both casual and athletic skiers.
