1994 & 853 tubing I don't think so some how :roll:
Tange Prestige Ultimate Ultralite. Whereas the Altitude was made of Tange Prestige Ultimate Superlite, which was a fair bit lighter.
It hadn't occurred to me before that Rocky was still making frames with non-suspension geometry as late as 94, but there certainly isn't much clearance on that fork. More or less limits it to being rigid IMPO, although I know some would differ.

They used suspension 'officially' since 1993 and made all (maybe not the Fusion) compatible and if I remember correctly there where slight tweaks since the forks where only the MAG's (Quadra's not being as long as MAGs as well) and they let the frames take the slight hit.
Large adjustments only became really needed when they started going to 60mm+ I think. Problem with correcting a lot for the short travel early forks is you'd be in the travel somewhere, most of the time (hopefully) and so have way to steep an angle.
Though being Blizzard it should not have suspension fitted ;-) Was the only one in the line up not to have it (other than the casual end fusion/Metro)
Saying that the head angle on the above bike looks very steep, On Rockies they always looked to be almost parallel to the seat tube.
Oddly in 1993 they used True Temper tubing for the Blizzard and not the usual Prestige series they always used.
