      "It can make perfect turns, perform butter tricks in the park, slide around the mountain with ease, and dominate the off-piste terrain.

      Every time I took the Gonzo out, it reminded me of the essence of this sport. It’s a true gem that always leaves me wanting more.

      If you’re looking for your next telemark ski, the Bishop Gonzo should be at the top of your list."

      Gonzo

      I bought them right before 2 ski trips. Love these skis in all conditions. Even at 90 under foot they’re a little weak in icy surfaces but they rip in everything else. Soft snow, bumps and loose cut up snow. Just got 16” at Steamboat and these skis excelled. Would recommend!

      My first tele-specific ski—love it! Perfect

      I’ve been free heeling since 1999. Thank you, Bishop, for investing in the R&D to give me both a great new binding a few years ago and now the Gonzo.

      The Gonzo's and BMF3's are Great

      I bought the Gonzo 170's for Christmas this year and have really loved them, and like I told my wife, who have the Chedi's and loves them is: "I don't think I can mess up on these skis". I'm 65, 5'8", 190 pounds and even though I don't have the rip I had 10 years ago, I still ski pretty aggressively, and I'm amazed on how these skis respond in the trees, bumps, crud and even powder. The only issue I've found is that I should have bought the 180's due to my aggressive style and I want to thank Charlie from Bishop for setting me up with some 180's to ski on at the Bridger demo days last weekend. I felt that just having the 10 extra cm's helped me lock in the carve even on the groomers, though I feel they're really made for turning and not Mach speeds. Oh, I also love the BMF 3 bindings I bought with the stiff springs and the step in and out plus ski breaks. Bishop Rocks, Thanks, John

      A great pair of skis!

      These are super fun to ski on and take me away to a better place. Just got back from a few days at Whistler. They were super fun all around. You guys have really made some amazing tele sticks!

      Beyond words

      This is the single best telemark ski I’ve been on. Period. Full stop. In or out. Groomers. Bumps. Pow. Works its magic across the board. For those of us who spend meaningful time on East Coast hard pack, or worse, it’s a dream.
