Freeride Skis

The Blaze 106 W is a light, agile powder ski that is constructed with maneuverability in mind. The thin Titanal Binding Platform underfoot harnesses power with little effort, creating an incredibly enjoyable and dynamic turning experience, immediately from initiation. In narrow terrain and/or rough conditions their reaction time is impressive, especially for a powder-width ski. Their full-length Hybrid Multilayer wood core and overall design target short-turn-oriented skiers, but the sidecut’s three-radius technology adapts to almost every riding style. In addition to ripping around the resort, the Blaze 106 W’s also transition into capable freeride touring skis because of their lightweight, yet powerful nature. With the addition of the Suspension Tip, a rubbery, shock-absorbing material on the tip and tail edges, the Blaze 106 W rides high through pow, crud, and wind-buffed snow with playful power. - Binding plate premounted: no Recommended binding: - 7650U1.EB DUKE PT 16 125MM BLACK/GUNMETAL - 7624U1.JC JESTER 16 ID 110MM BLACK/GRAY - 7524U1.GC GRIFFON 13 ID 110MM BLACK - 7831T1.CW KINGPIN MWERKS 12 100-125MM BLACK/RED - 7933U1.MB KINGPIN 13 100-125MM BLACK/RED

All-mountain precision in freeriding dimensions with the light weight of a touring ski. The “narrowest” Blaze (86 mm under the boot) is available in four lengths and offers an ideal combination of smooth "surfing" and lightweight. As well as featuring a 3D radius sidecut, the Blaze 86 is built with a full tip-to-tail wood core. This not only trims the weight and makes the ski more lively, it also eliminates the need for plastic panels – a small but positive environmental aspect. The 86 model also comes with elasticated, rubbery suspension elements around the edges of its tip and the tail, which act like bumpers in wind-blown, unfavorable snow conditions, making the ski more settled and delivering great flotation. The Blaze series is designed for fast, short turns. But its three different radii, especially in combination with a full hybrid multi-layer wood core, mean it is suited to every riding style and can handle even the most ambitious use. The Blaze 86 is ideal for sporty all-mountain skiers who want to go off-piste, and for classic freeriders and ski tourers who are happy to put up with an extra 100 g in exchange for significantly improved performance. The Blaze is also used as a freeride touring ski, thanks to its lightweight. That's why Völkl also offers Smart Glue skins tailored to each Blaze model.
