Volkl Blaze 106 Women’s 2024
Made with the resort and backcountry in mind, Volkl's Blaze 106 dominates in its field of all-mountain freeride skis. Whether you're are looking to tackle big bowls on powder days or just ripping around groomers, this ski is super versatile for hard charging ladies. Put a hybrid binding on this ski, and you can transition from backcountry stashes to resort steeps in the blink of an eye.
Scroll to read a more in-depth description of why we are stoked on this ski:
Freeride Versatility: Whether you’re headed to a backcountry ski hut or looking to have some fun at the resort this ski has plenty of float for deep pow, snappy turning performance with surprisingly good edge hold for this weight, and quality that Völkl always brings to the table.
Dimensions: Sitting at 106mm under waist, this ski is a lightweight and nimble package ready to tackle all.
All-Mountain Construction: The Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore Green core is a very complex core that is used in the Blaze 114. Specially chosen light woods are picked both for sustainability and performance. Volkl added inserts made of elastic TPU material on the edges of the tip and tail which act like a bumper in wind-blown or tracked snow. Its shock-absorbing elasticity ensures better stability and catch-free float. Plus, a thin Titanal layer (0,3 mm) under the binding delivers the necessary strength to the ski. This way the binding screws offer reliable hold even in the toughest conditions.
Rocker Profile: A Tip & Tail Rocker bends up only in the shovel and tail zones, with a camber shape in the middle. Plus, the Blaze features Volkl’s 3D Radius Sidecut – Three radii in one ski shape deliver maximum versatility - long radii at the tip and tail for stability and smoothness, and a short radius in the mid-body allows the skier to switch from long arcs to short turns at will, at any speed.
