Freeride Skis

A ski for the rad woman who is adventurous and multi-faceted, desiring a powerfully light, maneuverable ski that will adapt to every condition. The newest ski in the Blaze lineup, the Blaze 86 W expands on what the other models are known for: lightness, ease, and agility. Leaving the damping element of titanal out of the construction not only makes for a slightly more lively ride, it also saves weight and eliminates the need for plastic inserts (a small, but positive environmental step forward). The Blaze 86 W is designed for fast, shorter turns, but the three different radii that the sidecut supports can handle the most ambitious terrain and demands. The shock-absorbing Suspension Tip and Tail are not only durable, but also provide great lift, protecting and assisting the ski off-piste. For the backcountry skier who is happy to withstand 100g extra weight for a significantly improved skiing experience, the Blaze 86 W is a real ski touring contender. Built with a light, capable, continuous tip-to-tail woodcore, uphill travel is totally doable, and downhill terrain is still completely rippable. An extremely versatile setup, the combination of all this technology makes the Blaze 86 W an intuitive ride that revolves around playfulness. - 3D Radius Sidecut - Full Sidewall - Suspension Tips & Tails - Base: P-Tex 2100

A ski for the rad woman who revels in agile, responsive turns all across the mountain, and might want to tackle an uphill touring effort followed by a technical backcountry descent. The Blaze 94 W is what we like to call "sporty". It delivers on many levels, but it is made for the high-octane delight of a skier that loves to turn on a dime, in every type of terrain. The 0.3mm thick layer of titanal across the binding platform creates an impressively direct power transfer from skier movement to ski action. Keeping the titanal only under the foot creates an incredibly fun and responsive turning experience, immediately from initiation, with little effort. Although it is designed with short turn radius goals, the 3D Radius Sidecut and Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore significantly enhances the ski's liveliness and maneuverability for any turn shape. At only 1427g (@ 165cm length) and with the addition of the Suspension Tip and Tail (basically a rubbery "bumper" for whatever the ski comes in contact with), it is a fantastic touring ski as well. Regardless of resort skiing glory, off-piste endeavors, or backcountry objectives, the Blaze 94 offers an incredibly wide range of use in all conditions. SPECIFICATIONS: - ROCKER: Tip & Tail Rocker - CORE: Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore - BASE: P-Tex 2100 - RECOMMENDED BINDING: Griffon 100, Duke PT, Kingpin, Kingpin MWerks - SKIING LEVEL: Advanced, Professional
