[mepr-hide if="rule: 3745"]What was old is new again, as Blizzard returns the Bodacious to its original construction, replete with a double dose of Titanal. With the new Rustler 11 available as an option for the less aggro skier, the Bodacious could revert to the badass, big-turn ski envisioned by Arne Backstrom, the big mountain phenom who came up with Flipcore idea. The 2018 Bodacious is once again an absolute beast. I’m reasonably sure that if a 196cm Bodacious hit a brick wall at 40mph, there’d be nothing left of the wall. [/mepr-hide]

If the Bodacious sounds like too much ski for the average skier, well, it is. The expert who can tip it up on edge will find there’s enough shape to its sidecut to slice a mid-radius turn, and its stability at speed is second to none. The skier can totally trust the edge to hold at any velocity in or on any snow condition. Experts who opt for a new Bodacious will be contributing to the Arne Backstrom Memorial Fund.
