Do you shred the trees? Play in the Pow? Carve on the groomed? Or just want to improve your skills? This ski is for you. It is a ski that is durable and forgiving for those who may not yet have the budget for a full carbon ski. While heavier than the Transcend, the Bliss is still capable of being a great backcountry ski, and is strong enough for the industry professional who puts in an enviable amount of days on snow each season.
