Blizzard Brahma 88 Skis 2024

Season:2023/24

Brand:Blizzard

Code:8A334200-001

The Blizzard Brahma 88 is our reference all mountain ski in the 85-90mm range. A multiple award winner, the Brahma we feel defines the all-conditions ski capable of off-piste performance too.

Compared to its wider brethren in this category, the Brahma 88 utilizes its TrueBlend Woodcore, two sheets of metal and reduced rocker profile for a better grip on harder snow but is versatile enough for a variety of snow conditions.

This ski will take the energy you give it and transfer that power into the snowpack, so you can rip down the mountain with confidence and ease.

As the day’s smooth terrain gets eaten up by hungry skiers, the Brahma has the backbone to ski efficiently through chopped up crud, which means you’ll be skiing longer (and stronger) than everyone else.

What We Say
"As a ski buyer the Brahma 88 is my benchmark ski in this category. Classified as an all-mountain ski, it certainly is such a ski, but also a very adept all-conditions piste ski that offers confidence inspiring turns, fantastic edge hold and agile response which exceeds its generous 88mm width. As an all-rounder its hard to beat..."

Ski Buyers Guide

Buying a pair of skis doesn't need to be a daunting experience. When buying a pair of skis, there are a few simple pieces of information that will help you to find your perfect match. With the introduction of carving skis and new technology, ski length is based more on the user’s weight than the tradition of using your height. Combine this with your ski level and your aspirations and this will help narrow your choice very quickly. Follow these simple steps:

STEP 1 - ABILITY
Firstly choose your current skiing level from the list below:

1 - Never skied before
2 - I can stop with a snowplough
3 - I am doing snowplough turns, and the odd blue run
4 - I am starting to parallel ski and onto blue runs
5 - I am venturing onto reds, and starting to make step turns
6 - I am getting confident on reds, and maybe doing the odd black
7 - I am comfortable skiing most black runs
8 - I am confortable on ice, and venturing off-piste
9 - I am skiing off-piste aggresively, and carving across all pistes
10 - I am a professional experienced ski instructor or racer

Here at The Skiers Lounge we then brake this down into 4 groups:

  • NOVICE (Level 1 to 4)
  • INTERMEDIATE (Level 4-6)
  • ADVANCED (Level 6-8)
  • EXPERT (Level 8-9)
  • PROFESSIONAL (Level 10)

STEP 2 - TERRAIN
Now you know your skier level, you can decide where you will mainly be using your new skis:
  • - Groomed Piste Runs
  • - All snow conditions (From ice to slush)
  • - All mountain skiing conditions (piste and off-piste)
  • - Off-piste skiing (powder)
  • - Ski touring

STEP 3 - SKI LENGTH
For selecting the correct ski length, we take your ability, weight and where you will use the skis, and can calculate an approximate length:

Ski Length Chart


STEP 3 - FINAL ADJUSTMENT FOR SKILL LEVEL

The final calculation- For NOVICE skiers, this is your recommended length. For INTERMEDIATE and ADVANCED skiers we recommend adding 5cm to the above measurement, and for EXPERT and PROFESSIONAL skiers you would normally add 10cm to the above length and a little more for freeride skis.
