Drahtguy Kevin: The Brahma boasts new construction with a reduced turn radius for this year. It is an easy-skiing, narrower all-mountain ski that excels off piste without sacrificing on-piste performance. The new tip makes this ski more user-friendly in all conditions, and the tighter radius boosts the fun factor. Intermediates to experts will find joy in their time on the Brahma.
Philpug: Now for the metal version: yes, the regular Brahma has metal, which makes it a bit stronger and damper in some conditions and gives it a higher speed limit. I really like the new generation of these skis (including the new Bonafide). If your older Brahma is getting tired, here you go.
Ron: If you were like me and wondered what exactly was the Brahma, well, Blizzard has solved the riddle. The new metal version has a purpose! Stronger and damper, the Brahma is a blast on the groomed; it is still easy to ski, though, and has a good feel on the snow. The entire ski engages and releases as needed. As a midfat, this ski can be drifted as well. I was skiing behind @DoryBreaux when he demoed the Brahma, and after launching off a roller, he had perma-grin.
Insider tip: An easy-skiing ski is even easier.

Insider tip: Yes, it is a better Brahma.

Insider tip: These size true even with the tip and tail rocker.
- Who is it for?
- Stronger skiers who are fine with a smaller sweet spot. Advanced skiers are going to enjoy this ski for sure, especially those who have put too many days on their old pairs. Basically anyone wanting a reliable and predictable whip.
- Who is it not for?
- Lighter skiers will find it a bit much, but that's why Blizzard offers the Bushwacker.
