I'm glad you decided to go ahead. Blizzards are also among the skis that [some of them] are made in a Ukraine factory.

You demoed it; you liked it; you bought it. Well done. My advice, which still stands for anyone reading this in the same situation, is if you really like a ski you demoed and are wanting to own a new ski, then quickly buy the ski model and year you demoed before the manufacturer decides to "improve" it for next year.

Me: 5'9", 136#, intermediate.
Nordica Enforcer 93 (93/169). These skis did it all: stayed glued on steeps, busted through crud, and were not intimidated by moguls. BUT they don't ski themselves! By the end of the day, I was exhausted. I think if I had 20 more pounds, and it was all muscle, and if I was a better skier....

Santa Ana 93 for you!

The three most dreaded words in the English language for middle-aged folks: "new and improved".
