The Sheeva 10 has been my favorite all-around ski since it debuted during the 2018 season. It's the perfect balance of business and casual—like wearing dress pants with a Hawaiian shirt, everybody wins. Metal underfoot gives you stability and confidence, while the rocker profile let's you go anywhere on the mountain. There is literally nothing this ski can't do. 12 inches of powder, no problem! High speed groomers, bring it on. Alpine touring, easy breezy!
When the time arrives to buy new boards, most skiers are searching for one do-it-all ski. All mountain planks that can hold an edge on hardpack, yet surf on deep snow when conditions are prime. But, "all mountain" is a broad term that means different skis for different skiers -- making it tricky to track down that elusive "One Ski to Rule Them All."
Powder7 has you covered. Say you're a hardcore Vermonter who spends spring break tackling the Rockies, consider our picks for All Mountain Narrow. But if you shred gnarly lines like Lynsey Dyer, our All Mountain Wide picks are a good place to start. There's a one ski quiver out there for just about everyone, and we want to help you find it.

Check out our preview of 2020 Blizzard skis.
Highlights from the 2019 Blizzard skis lineup:
The Old Standbys
Blizzard's classic lineup of men's skis—the Bodacious, Cochise, Bonafide, and Brahma—come back for another year of intra-mountain domination. Last year's Brahma CA has a fresh look (far right) and a new name for 2019. Say hello to the Bushwacker.
Rustling Up Winners
One of the most impressive new lines of skis a year ago was Blizzard's Rustler, known as the Sheeva on the women's side. This year, the freeride series gets even better with the addition of the Rustler 9 and the Sheeva 9 at 94mm and 92mm underfoot respectively.
The Sheeva 9 and the Rustler 9 for the most part mirror the construction of their wider associates. The ... Continue Reading
2020 Blizzard Sheeva 10 Description:
There's no place like home"and home is where the Sheeva is. At 102mm underfoot, the medium-wide Sheeva 10 is one of the best all-mountain powder skis we have ever skied. The only difference between this ski and its male-oriented counterpart, the Rustler 10, is in the core. Blizzard uses Carbon FlipCore D.R.T., which includes a layer of titanal underfoot that tapers to carbon in the tips and tails. The build gives all the Blizzard freeride skis excellent strength, power, and control underfoot without compromising soft snow prowess and easy skiability in the tips and tails. The women's models feature a lighter core alongside that D.R.T. metal, giving the skis the perfect blend of playfulness and performance that women freeride skiers crave. Ski them anywhere, and make anywhere home. Similar skis: Elan Ripstick 102 W, Nordica Santa Ana 100, Salomon QST Lumen 99.
