Blizzard Skis - History of the Brand, Inside the Factory, Building 2025 Anomaly and Black Pearl Skis

[@kokibr91]

We need more of this! Great content, visit more factories. We, the customers, see only the end product, but there is so much behind.

Great video - it takes me back to my younger days... Grew up in the next village 7km away from Mittersill. From the 5th model on (the black Firebird Pro Competition) I had almost every model since. My father was a friend of Toni Arnsteiner (took care of his dog as a vet), therefore we had also quite some skis around that never hit the market, kind of amateur test skiers. Still pure Blizzard in the ski rack in the basement - have to go for Anomaly this season.

Blizzard skis are well build. What has always impress me was the size and hardness of their edges on the race skis. Never seen anything close to tha5 on other brand at that time. I will get a last year Brahma 88 for next season. Tested it and really liked it.

I bought Anomaly 84s online and found "Made in Ukraine" stamped on the skis. At 22:19 it is confirmed in this video that the Anomoly 84 is not made in this Austrian recruit.

[@SkiEssentials]

I don't think so, but I could be wrong.

Poor quality audio. Background noise, people walking around.

[@SkiEssentials]

Yeah, not the best audio quality. The second half should be a little better, but in that first part we were right next to the factory, which was in operation. I did the best I could without mic-ing up the presenter, but to be honest, this video was not the primary goal of that situation. I was one of many who were there to see the factory.

Great demo of ski construction, all makes a lot more sense now

[@SkiEssentials]

It was awesome getting to see all the parts and how it comes together in the press.

Ok, not exactly a Warren Miller movie, but interesting stuff for us ski nerds ⛷️
