Völkl Blaze 106 W 23/24 Freeski
Product description
A ski for the rad woman who wants to glide and playfully turn with ease off-piste in deeper conditions with the option to head further afield into the backcountry should her desire and fresh powder coincide.
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 Woodcore and overall design target short-turn-oriented skiers, but the sidecut’s three radius technology adapts to most 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.

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.
Three radii in one ski for macimum truning and speed versatility in AllMountain skiing.
LONG TIP & TAIL RADIUS Usage of long radii at tip and tail for big turns and high speed
- easy steering and maneuverability
- disruption resistant at the tip
- no radius limitation and ease of turn exit
TIGHT CENTER RADIUS Usage of shorter radius in the center for short turns and lower speed
- extremely easy to initiate short turns
- strikingly agile
- effortless and smooth in short turns
Direct and strong powertransmission with full length sidewalls.
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.
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.
A sintered high-density and high molecular polyethylene base with great gliding characteristics and high durability.
BRUSHED base structure on flat skis with wider widths Superficial & shallow structure matches with wide skis and their bigger bearing face › optimum agility & turning characteristics.
- Less catching
- Easier & smooth turn initiation
Bends up only in the shovel and tail zones, with a camber shape in the middle.
