These are the model’s numbers, not measurements. Carve radius comes from the sidecut, so it does not change with weight; edge hold and float do. Flex and camber are our estimates (see “What the model uses” below).

What reviewers say
2025 Blizzard Anomaly 88 On Snow Ski Review
Jeff Neagle · 13 Dec 2024
The Blizzard Anomaly 88 evolves the Brahma line by blending high-speed precision and strong grip with improved versatility and maneuverability. Its updated tail rocker makes pivoting easier in technical terrain and softer conditions, while retaining reliable stability and edge contact on groomed trails. It allows a wider range of turn shapes than its predecessor while remaining powerful.
“You can flick the tail out a lot more easily and a lot quicker” (Jeff Neagle)

Bob St.Pierre · 20 June 2024
The Blizzard Anomaly 88 succeeds the Brahma 88, combining strong carving precision with improved off-trail agility. Built with a beech and poplar wood core alongside strategic titanal laminates, it balances high-speed stability and edge grip with a more flexible shovel and added rocker. This design enables easier turn entry and superior handling in choppy or soft conditions. It delivers impressive versatility across groomers, moguls, and variable terrain for advanced skiers.
“Anomaly 88 is very easy to start the turn as a result.” (Bob St.Pierre)
