Test Notes
I enjoyed the Blizzard Sheeva 11 because it was a hard-charging yet playful freeride ski in a wide variety of conditions. I was able to hop on it and immediately ski my favourite run in powder, without feeling like I had to adjust to the ski. It floated in fresh snow and enjoyed being skied fast, and when put to the test in Red Mountain Resort’s tight trees, it was incredibly reactive and pivoted on a dime. I also had a ton of fun ripping this ski through chopped-up snow and on groomers, where its sidecut allowed for easy initiation and the flex pattern was stable throughout the entire arc of the turn. As a result, the Sheeva would be ideal for an advanced skier who prioritizes powder, but still wants to have fun in variable conditions and terrain. And as an added bonus, the topsheet is beautiful! —Sally Steeves

- Playful and powerful.
