TAMING THE QUATTRO
Blizzard is making its popular Quattro friendlier, tweaking the on-piste carvers with the heart of a race ski to be a little more forgiving. That includes a new race plate that’s 10 per cent softer, and carbon reinforcements behind the foot that help with edge hold and turn finish. Check out the changes in two new models, the RS 70 and RS 76. $1,200; http://blizzard-skis.com
