Exclusive: SkiTalk Edizione Speciale Sideral

SkiTalk.com and Blossom Skis are excited to offer a unique opportunity to own a special edition (Edizione Speciale in its native Italian) of the Blossom White Out, an homage to the iconic Spalding Sideral. This ski shares much of its DNA with the original Sideral as both Spalding and Blossom came out of the same facility originally owned by Persenico in Chiavenna, Italy, in 1906; it was the very first ski factory in Italy.

Much as the Sideral was the gold standard ski in its day, the modern White Out with its 131-77-111 dimensions is the ski that almost every premium offering is compared against. We chose the early-80s graphic, which brings a level of class to the ski and with Dave Petersen’s creative artwork, a modern take on the Sideral.

On-snow feel of the White Out is what you would expect from any premium ski: solid, smooth, and connected. All it takes is a thought and these skis will do whatever you want them to do.

About author
Philpug
I started skiing in the mid-70s in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania; from then on, I found myself entrenched in the industry. I have worked in various ski shops from suburban to ski town to resort, giving me a well-rounded perspective on what skiers want from their gear. That experience was parlayed into my time as a Gear Review Editor and also consulting with manufacturers as a product tester. Along with being a Masterfit-trained bootfitter I am a fully certified self proclaimed Gear Guru. Not only do I keep up with the cutting edge of ski gear technology, but I am an avid gear collector and have an extensive array of bindings as well as many vintage skis.

I'm torn. 170 or 176. Also, Skis? Mortgage? Tough call
Banks give leeway for a couple months and these are a limited run. Plus depending on which card you use, 45 days till first payment.

If it was CAD , I would do it in a heartbeat , but the exchange is too dear......
 
Too cool!
If $ was, or is soon available, I would love to buy a pair of these.
I should know which length to focus on but I could use some advice. Guessing 176 is a sweet spot for this ski?
 
Hats off to Dave Peterson’s graphics redesign!
Any chance another retro re-issue could be a follow up?
My favorite original Fischer C4 possibly?
:)
