[Editor’s Note: Our “First Looks” are our way of getting you information sooner on some of the products we’re reviewing, including our measured specs and the details from the manufacturer. 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 88
“Born to defy the ordinary, the Anomaly 88 is the ski you reach for when the day is shaping up to be anything but ordinary. Packing a redesigned Trueblend woodcore and all-new FluxForm All-Mountain metal layup, the 88 is just as at home devouring groomers as it is smashing bumps or disappearing into the woods on a pow day.”
Additionally, check out more details in our writeup on Blizzard’s new Anomaly lineup of skis.
