Description of Blizzard Answer IQ Ski w/ FR 16 Binding: |
|
Looking for a backcountry-ready twintip with crust-busting, crud-munching traditional construction? You’re asking for the Blizzard Answer IQ Ski and the FR 16 Binding. The Answer IQ is exactly that: a fat, floaty twin with tons of guts, ready to hike for home-built booters and bound through the pow, but all the while hiding a titanium-reinforced wood core that makes choppy crud feel like a freshly resurfaced freeway. This ski goes anywhere you want to, airing out cliffs and dominating chutes with confidence, then laying down smooth lines on groomers like a lounge singer thanks to vertical-sidewall edge hold. When that gets boring, well…you can just switch the bombproof FR 16 bindings into touring mode, skin back up, and hit it all switch.
Bottom Line: Blizzard has The Answer for the big-mountain question.

| Just to add to my above review, I had these out on some good firm steep groomers and trails and the edge grip is amazing, I was really trying to jam some turns on these and had a hard time getting them to chatter, in fact they didn't. They are very torsionally stiff and hands down the best wide boards I've skied on firm snow! So once again this ski does it all!! |

| This could be your answer... 03-13-09 |
| James McCalvy (13): |
| Well, I had a mixed day snow wise on these ski. Everything from a little powder to some chalky edgy stuff to your crusty icy all in one day. These skis suprized me on the harder firm groomers, they handled and dug in better than I thought they would, easy to lay down some nice trenches. In the crud they had no problem. The powder was also very nice and so easy with these, plenty of float for whatever and they seemed very stable when dropping cliffs and charging hard down the mountain. All in all these would make a great one ski quiver. The flex is probably just on the upside of a medium making them fairly forgiving and very snappy and responsive in my opinion. I would definetly get these. |

| Sweet Setup! Binding Size Clarification... 11-12-09 |
| Arne Backstrom (0): |
| This ski and binding setup is a great all around choice. Not too much side cut and relatively soft especially in the tails, makes them forgiving and fun, good for tail butters or if you just want to sit back a little and juice one.I'd like to clear up some confusion about the FR 16 IQ bindings though. It's basically an integrated Duke binding to fit the IQ rail system, but where Duke's come in sizes small and large, the FR 16 IQ bindings come in one size only and fits boots from 265mm to 365mm, which equates to US mens 4.5 to like size 15 or something. However, there is an adjustment that needs to be made before mounting the bindings. For boots smaller than 305mm, snap the white plastic adjustment into the corresponding position under the heel peice, and do the same for boots larger than 305mm. It's really simple and allows them to fit almost all adult boot sizes!These skis are great and so are the bindings, backcountry or park, small or large boots! |
