Product Info
If you think you have the talent, and the guts than prepare yourself. The Blizzard Dakota Skis are skis designed for only the strongest and most daring women. These skis provide sheer freedom of big-mountain riding and let you have the upper hand when gambling with narrow tree runs, but only if you can tame them. A double titanium layer together with a bamboo core and the Flip Core 3D Rocker technology will give you the boost you need to power through crazy amounts of powder. If you think you have what it takes, than step up to the plate and give the Blizzard Dakota Skis a shot.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Full Rocker – Fully rockered combined with flat center without camber construction provides great floating abilities and very playful in all conditions.
Core
Wood Core
ISO-Core
Flip Core 3D – The wood core of the ski is inserted upside-down, so that the downward-facing, convex side of the core created a natural bend. This natural rocker-shape is already built in to the construction of the ski, not needing any additional-repressing. This results in better stability, increased edge to edge transitions, and a floating effect when your riding in powder.
Laminates
Bamboo
Titanium
Sidewalls
Sandwich sidewall
Blizzard Sidewall – Blizzard sidewalls give you better energy transmission that provides constant edge pressure over the entire length of the skis, and dynamic force distribution from edge to edge. You get increased torsional stiffness for stable edge grip, perfect control, and the highest carving performance. The sidewalls are super durable made with a longlife construction, and designed to be more impact resistant.
Base
HM graphite (sintered)
Binding Compatibility
Bindings not included
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type
Rocker Rocker (also called reverse-camber) is just as it sounds – camber turned upside down. Rocker skis have a side profile with a smooth downward curvature and a contact point at the middle of the ski. Rocker skis excel in deep powder. This profile provides the skis with less tip and tail hang up to prevent from catching edges and allows the skis to initiate turns extremely quickly. This profile doesn’t perform as well in icy conditions or on harder snow but if you spend lots of time in deep, untracked snow and like a more playful ski, Rocker is a great choice.
