It is with a heavy heart that I must part with my favorite pair of groomer skis...the Blizzard XCross Pros. These skis absolutely destroy any other carver ski I've ever used or seen.
The XCross Pro is the pre-cursor to Blizzard's CMX (Cross-Mountain) line they currently make available. The only difference is in the top sheet colors. The XCross from 2005/2006 is the first year Blizzard manufactured their cross-mountain line with the integrated binding system, called the "IQ" system. This integrated binding is actually pretty powerful and makes the ski amazingly responsive. They are meant for carving up groomers, but I've even done Monday night beer-league racing with them.
These skis were demo skis but only skied by me (I bought them right off the rep before anyone else could ski them.) The bindings are demo bindings too, but if you've seen the IQ system blizzard users, there is no difference in the regular IQ bindings and the demo IQ bindings. With the exception of the adjustment tab on the back of the binding (the integrated system is easy to adjust [single screw], so the demo system just puts the binding on a sliding rail instead of a set rail). There is no additional weight or bulkiness with the demo bindings. As a matter of fact, I like having the demo bindings on there so I can adjust the bindings on the fly for my friends to use these skis.
There's the normal wear on the top sheet and bindings--nothing more than a few light scratches and some faded paint. And the base has no P-tex and no scratches (you can still see the last race tune on the base.) They are have a good tune and are currently in storage wax.
More information:
Length: 173
Dimensions: 120-70-99
Turn radius at 173: 15.5
Bindings: IQ 5.14 (DIN 5-14)
It's a very sad day for me to sell these, but unfortunately for reasons beyond my control I must. I'm going to part with them for $215 and no shipping and handling.
If you have any more questions, just let me know.
EDIT: SOLD! Thanks!
