Skis

All Mountain Rocker – 15% Tip Rocker / 85% Camber / Flat Tail

Prolite Construction – Instead of starting with a standard construction and cutting material away to save weight, Prolite does the opposite. It starts with the slimmest possible profile and then builds up reinforcements in key areas where strength is needed - like the Energy Backbone down each ski edge.

Power Woodcore – A sporty, dynamic ash and poplar woodcore that adds a ton of stability and dampens vibrations at speed.

Energy Backbone – Reinforcement in key zones giving extra strength and edge grip for powerful skiing.

Titanium Tank Mesh – A layer of lightweight Titanal (aluminum alloy) mesh inserted to add strength from tip to tail.

Atomic Topsheets – Atomic top sheets are lightweight and highly resistant – with different structures and finishes to suit different terrains.

Full Sidewall – Runs across the full length of the ski for precise steering.

World Cup Base Finish

Atomic Edges – Atomic edges are made from steel five times more wear resistant than standard steel, for strength and perfect grip.

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Tip and Tail Rocker – Mild tip and tail rocker with camber underfoot for a balance of soft snow performance and carving.

Flipcore 3D Technology – Unlike most other companies, who start with a cambered core and "bend" it in the mold to create a rockered ski, Blizzard starts with a rockered core and components in the first place - everything goes into the press in the same shape as it comes out. Sound like marketing BS? Sure, except for the fact the the Flipcore skis have received almost universal praise from experts in their short time on the market. Maybe Blizzard is onto something here . . .

Poplar ISO-Woodcore with Bamboo Stringers

Double Quadrax reinforcement

ABS Sidewalls – Helps dampen hard landings while decreasing vibration fatigue.

Strong Graphite Base

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Rocker Camber Rocker – Ski profile with rocker at the tip and tail, camber in the middle. Reducing the pressure on the edge at the tip and tail makes the ski even easier to handle and increases flotation on powder snow. The camber guarantees great grip on packed snow.

Rocker Concept – New progressive rocker concept with slightly reduced rocker in the tip and tail helps to increase the carving character on groomed slopes and improve flotation off the slope.

Shape Concept – Traditional easy turning sidecut creates a perfect all-mountain feel. More aggressive tip shape provides better turn initiation. More traditional flat tails help to improve stability and flotation.

Poplar-Beech Wood Core

Carbon Drive Technology – A 3D unidirectional carbon frame construction that wraps the tip and tail of the ski but narrows in the waist to provide a high degree of torsional stability without adding unnecessary weight.

Binding Reinforcement Layer

Anti-Shock Layer

Sandwich Compound Sidewall – All Blizzard skis with the exception of some junior skis are built with ABS or Phenol sidewalls for superior performance (stability, power transmission, handling) and durability.

Sintered Graphite Base

Oversize Steel Edges – 30% larger edges in order to improve the durability and resistance.

0.7mm Top Foil – Even more structured than the normal top foil. Knoppe structure.

Bright Colors – Designed with light colors to reduce the focus on scratches.

Dura-Tec – Improved durability through the use of thicker TPU foils on the topsheet edges.

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Utility Rocker – Salomon's most versatile rocker profile, excelling in all conditions and terrains, Utility Rocker offers optimal floatation, fluid terrain absorption and directional stability.

Gentle Rise Tail – A shorter, shallower rise to the tail rocker that increases edge contact and stability.

Carve Zone – The traditionally cambered section of twin rocker skis, where the sidecut is focused for more power, energy and edge grip.

Hook Free Taper – Allowing for easier turn initiation in soft and variable snow, this tip and tail shape slices through difficult snow without hanging up.

Full Wood Core – A wood core that runs from tip to tail offers optimum stability and powerful rebound, with maximum ski/snow contact and reduced vibration

Semi-Sandwich – Edge to edge construction allows liveliness with increased stability underfoot.

Total Edge Reinforcement – A fiber reinforcement is laid directly on the edges, improving edge stiffness, durability and grip.

Wider Edges – Thicker edges for increased durability and improved shock resistance

Pulse Pad – This is an elastomer layer all along the edge and/or along the whole front part of the ski that provides shock absorption and anti-vibration on harder snow.

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

350mm Tip Rocker / 4mm Camber / 210mm Flat Tail Rocker

Flex Rating: 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff )

Elliptical Radius Sidecut – Made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, while a shorter radius in the tip and tail results in seamless turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turn lengths and angles.

Freeride Flat Tail – Traditional flat tail design is built for speed, ultimate edge grip and control throughout charging turns. Brought into the modern day with a slight tail rocker, this shape is easier than ever to slash your turn into a slarve and won't hook up in fresh conditions.

Surf Zones – Unites rocker and tip taper ensuring these two key features work in harmony. Rocker provides float and facilitates pivoting, while a tapered tip moves the widest part of the ski closer to the center and removes unwanted hooking. Surf Zones promise a floaty, seamless ride in all conditions.

Lightweight Karuba Core – Karuba is an extremely lightweight woodcore with good strength properties. Despite being little-known, Karuba provides a good flex and vibration absorption capabilities without adding weight, making it an ideal woodcore for a touring ski that performs just as well on the uphill as on the downhill.

Titanal Binding Plate – When you're on a day-long touring trip in the backcountry, you need to rely on your gear. Titanal reinforcement plates are laid up on top of the lightweight cores ensuring that your binding screws hold. This one-piece design fits alpine and touring bindings, adding trustworthy durability to these lightweight cores.

Full Carbon Weave – Between 8 and 12 strips of Carbon, sandwiching either side of the ski’s woodcore, are laid unidirectionally, providing extra stability to the ski, without adding weight to the build. Each carbon strip is woven into the fibre glass to provide strength and stiffness in the full length of the ski.

Full Strength Sidewall – This construction places strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge and the topsheet. Sidewalls provide the best possible edge hold and stability when the ski is engaged in a turn as well as protecting the wood core, edges and topsheet from impacts and outside damage.

Anti-Chip Tip & Tail Cap – Full strength sidewall underfoot, with the topsheet wrapping around the ski so that it meets the edge in the tip and tail. This provides strong protection from impact, boosting the ski's durability, as well as reducing the overall weight of the ski for freestyle or touring needs.

XL 2.5mm Edges – Extra edge thickness gives the skier a pair of skis that absorb shock and impact much better than skis with standard edges. The result is a ski with a much higher life expectancy.

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

405mm Tip Rocker / 3mm Camber / 325mm Progressive Tail Rocker

Flex Rating: 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff )

Elliptical Radius Sidecut – Made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, while a shorter radius in the tip and tail results in seamless turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turn lengths and angles.

Directional Twin – A considerably skinnier tail width than the tip provides ultimate downhill performance for attacking the mountain. A twin tip in the tail encourages playfulness and freestyle attitude, meaning you can ride switch without problem.

Surf Zones – Unites rocker and tip taper ensuring these two key features work in harmony. Rocker provides float and facilitates pivoting, while a tapered tip moves the widest part of the ski closer to the center and removes unwanted hooking. Surf Zones promise a floaty, seamless ride in all conditions.

Poplar Core – Poplar is a light-colored, medium-weight, durable softwood that flexes and pops nicely as well as having a whole load of vibration absorption capabilities. Used as the only wood in this core, it allows the ski to pop, butter and stomp like a park ski and also have enough torsional stability to grip impressively on the downhill.

Full Strength Sidewall – This construction places strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge and the topsheet. Sidewalls provide the best possible edge hold and stability when the ski is engaged in a turn as well as protecting the wood core, edges and topsheet from impacts and outside damage.

Micro Cap – A hybrid of a premium sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight, durable cap construction. With micro-cap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold and torsional stability while the ski's topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, protecting the fragile joint that can be prone to chipping.

XL 2.5mm Edges – Extra edge thickness gives the skier a pair of skis that absorb shock and impact much better than skis with standard edges. The result is a ski with a much higher life expectancy.

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

All Mountain Rocker – Rocker at the tip with camber underfoot.
