Volkl Blaze 106 W 22/23

Rocker Camber Rocker
The ski is easy to turn thanks to a rise in both the tip and the tail. Due to the camber under the foot, the waist of the ski provides grip on harder snow. Skis with this type of profile like to be skied from a more centred stance..

Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore
The extra-light hybrid multilayer wood core is a very complex core that is used in the Blaze. Light and very stable poplar and beech woods, individually weighed and selected by weight before gluing, are used in this wood core. In the tip-to-tail construction, the wood extends to the tip of the blade and end, giving them the sophisticated combination of good stability and low weight. In the center of the core, a CNC-milled Isocore area contributes to optimal liveliness and dynamic development. All in all, this design allows the stability of the ski to meet the high demands of a freeride ski, and this at a weight that is only slightly higher than that of a touring ski.

Titanal Binding Plate
A Titanal plate positioned under the binding provides a robust and durable mounting platform, ensuring direct power transmission to the ski. It increases torsional stiffness and reduces vibrations, resulting in a more stable and controlled skiing experience—especially at higher speeds.

Triple Radius
For maximum diversity in turns and skiing style, the ski has different radii in the middle and at the end.

• A short radius in the middle of the ski, focused on short turns and low speeds, feels agile and makes it easier to ski short turns.
• The longer radii in the tip and tail ensure that the ski feels unflappable in the tip and the turns are easy to steer. This longer radius also makes the ski suitable for high speeds and long turns.

Suspension Tip & Tails
Inserting TPU plastic in the ski's tip and tail serves as a bumper for damping in rough terrain.

Sidewall Construction
A durable PU sidewall seals and protects the ski’s layered construction while adding structural strength. By improving power transfer from the skier to the edges, sidewall construction delivers better edge grip, increased stability at speed, and more precise handling. It also enhances durability and impact resistance for long-lasting performance.
