CARVE IT ALL
Like every model in Blizzard’s line, the M-Power is overbuilt, with beefy vertical sidewalls. The resulting deep edge penetration and an unwavering stability made the M-Power the best groomer ski in this category. But there was a tradeoff: It was a little hard to handle in soft snow, trees, and bumps. Buy it if you favor corduroy—so much so that you seek out buried groomers on powder days. 128/87/113;
