Once we’ve started testing a given product, we detail our on-snow impressions in our Flash Reviews and our annual Winter Buyer’s Guide. When we’re able to spend extensive time testing a given product, we publish our in-depth Full Reviews and Deep Dive comparisons.]
What Blizzard says about the Anomaly 102
“It wouldn't be an Anomaly if it did what all the other skis did - this is No Ordinary Rush.
The Anomaly 102 was built specifically for those who crave speed in any conditions. An all-new titanal FluxForm layup begs you to open it up, while the TrueBlend woodcore and re-imagined rocker profile give you the versatility and confidence to shut it down. If it’s No Ordinary rush you need, the Anomaly 102 provides.”
Additionally, check out more details in our writeup on Blizzard’s new Anomaly lineup of skis.
