Powder skiing gets most of the glory, but tearing up perfect corduroy is an under appreciated art. Like any good artist, you need the right tools to do your best work, and you won't find anything better than the Blizzard Quattro RX Ski, which comes equipped with the Marker Race Xcell 14 Binding. Marker designed the Quattro line to dominate firm conditions, and even though the RX is the widest board in the family tied with the 8. 4 Ti, it's an animal when it comes to edge hold and torsional stability. The majority of the RX's power comes from its IQ Sandwich Sidewall construction, which gives the ski a fun but stable feel and prevents it from twisting and feeling squirrely when you're railing GS turns as high speeds. Titanal and carbon fiber laminates provide some extra dampness and energy, letting you roll from edge to edge and rip turns like a racer, while the two millimeters of early rise in the tip make turn initiation smooth and easy, so you don't feel like your skis hang up or won't turn when you want them to. Blizzard also engineered the Quattro with its IQ binding mounting system, which allows for easy adjustments and provides unparalleled vibration dampening, sensitivity, and control, so you can feel exactly what your skis are doing without worrying about getting rattled to death when you're pinching the throttle on firm morning groomers.
