Line SFB vs Blizzard Peacemaker

[FastSpeed]

Which one is better? I am looking for an everyday all mountain twin. I will probably ski 10% Park, 40% trees, 30% Bumps/cliffs (like a liftline) and 20% groomers

As always Blister Gear Review has the most detailed info on their performance in all kinds of snow & conditions. Here are two of their reviews on the Peacemaker, including some comparisons to the SFB, and one preview of the new SFB:

The main bit in the Peacemaker review which compares the two:

"Comparison Summary: Blizzard Peacemaker vs. Line SFB vs. Rossi Soul 7

With the currently available skis that I’ve ridden, I find myself breaking my favorites skis of this playful 100-110 underfoot category into snow conditions. For primarily powder and soft crud, I’d choose to go out on the Soul 7; for firm conditions, unquestionably I’d reach for the Peacemaker; and if I had to pick one of the skis to cover the most of those two areas, including riding park, it would still be the 184cm LINE Sir Francis Bacon.

Bottom Line / Who’s It For?

More aggressive / powerful skiers than myself will definitely love the addition of the Peacemaker to this 100-110mm freestyle, all-mountain twin category.

And anyone who found the Rossi Soul 7, Salomon Rocker2 108, or the Line Sir Francis Bacon a little too weak, the Peacemaker may be what you are looking for.

And lighter skiers who like the feel of the Cochise or Bonafide, but wished they were a little looser and offered a bit more forgiveness, this is your ski."

I'd just read those reviews whilst thinking about what suits your style the most. Either way you can't really go wrong, both are supposed to be great skis.

Thanks for the input! I want to get the line SFBs but I want to wait for the full review just because they are a redesign

The new bacon is a huge improvement over te old version in my opinion. They are little and agile and are now stiff enough to hold an edge at speed.

Me but the blizzard are amazing skis. I love the gun smoke an the peacemaker so much. They carve so well yet you can still have fun on them.

Bler ister is ok but all the skis you are looking at have been reviewed here. Search 2016 blizzard in news and 2016 line and you will find them.

Infact just look at the linked articles down the bottom the blizzard reviews are there

I really liked your reviews on both skis. But which is better? Which is better for what type of skier? Which is better in park, bumps, powder and groomers?

Between the two I would go blizzard for sure. They killed it everywhere. Not sure I would take them in the park a ton but I would not take the sfB in the park much either. But for shredding everywhere the blizzard skis were amazing.

Never rode the bacons, but the Blizzards are a shit ton of fun. They remind me of a wider more stable version of my chronics. They float pretty well, unless the powder is really deep. And the ones I rode were great in the park even though they weren't even center mounted.
