Setup by Masahiro Yamaki
Skis: BLIZZARD HUSTLE 11 180cm (139-112-129) '22-23 model
Boots: TECNICA COCHISE 120 '22-23 model
Bindings: Marker KINGPIN 13 Release value 12 used '22-23 model
Setup review
BLIZZARD's HUSTLE is a combination of a lightweight ski that is just light and a ski that is strong and heavy. In addition to being light, the swing balance when worn on the foot is perfect. As for boots, we recommend these boots for those who like backcountry skiing, but who want to turn quickly on large slopes. Easy to put on and take off. And it's comfortable while wearing it. It is important that there is no stress on long climbs, and I think this model excels in that area. KINGPIN can switch to walk mode with one action, so switching from sliding mode to walk mode is very easy. It's easy to raise and lower the heel support, but it takes a little more effort because you have to perform two actions when removing the ski.
