Are Blizzard skis too much of a dad ski?

They have a ski similar to a Icelantic nomad and Faction 3.0 called the peacemaker.

But are they dad skis or fun to throw around?

Blizzards rip dude. I'd rip a couple of their skis if I didn't already have too many skis

Apparently they are similar to Moment PB&J's. I ski Moment PB&J's, which are the best one ski quiver ski I've tried. Here is a comparison between the two and apparently they stand up well:

I agree with this summary:
"Like the PB&J, I find that the Peacemaker is plenty playful enough to spin, slash, and smear easily. It’s also stiff enough to ski relatively hard in chunky snow, but it’s also soft enough in the tips and tails that I can bend and press the ski and get a nice amount snap and rebound out of it."

I had a pair of peacemakers, they were pretty good, the edges were pretty thin and the bases scratched easier than most other skis. The graphic I had was gross, but the newer ones look pretty good. If you can get a pair cheap, go for it.

The Blizzard Brama is one of the most fun skis i've skied on. Super stable and can charge super hard.

and I have a buddy that swears on the Gunsmokes being the best "tricking" pow skis

I work(patrolling) on a pair of Peacemakers because my mountain has a partnership with Blizzard. They mounted them at traditional and they kinda ski like junk, i'm sure if i had my choice i would have gone like -2 from center.
