Freeride Skis

All-mountain precision in freeriding dimensions with the light weight of a touring ski The Blaze series, which was successfully launched last year, is being expanded to include a new model with four lengths and 86mm under the boot. In addition to the proven 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, but also eliminates the need for plastic panels—a small but positive environmental aspect. The 86 model also comes with elasticated, rubbery suspension elements on the edges of the tip and the tail, which act as a bumper in wind-blown or unfavorable snow conditions and not only offer more resistance to disruption but also deliver great flotation. The Blaze series is generally designed for fast, short turns. However, the three different radii, especially in combination with the full hybrid multilayer wood core, are designed for every riding style and can handle even the most ambitious use. From the all-mountain skier who wants to go off-piste, to the classic freerider or touring skier who will put up with an extra 100g of weight for significantly improved skiing performance, the Blaze 86 is a top recommendation! Thanks to its lightweight, the Blaze is also used as a freeride touring ski. To this end, Völkl also offers Smart Glue skins that have been perfectly tailored to each Blaze model. - 3D Radius Sidecut - Full Sidewall - Suspension Tips & Tails - Base: P-Tex 2100

A ski for the rad woman who revels in agile, responsive turns all across the mountain, and might want to tackle an uphill touring effort followed by a technical backcountry descent. The Blaze 94 W is what we like to call "sporty". It delivers on many levels, but it is made for the high-octane delight of a skier that loves to turn on a dime, in every type of terrain. The 0.3mm thick layer of Titanal across the binding platform creates an impressively direct power transfer from skier movement to ski action. Keeping the Titanal only under the foot creates an incredibly fun and responsive turning experience that begins with little effort immediately upon initiation. Although it is designed with short turn radius goals, the 3D Radius Sidecut and Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore significantly enhances the ski's liveliness and maneuverability for any turn shape. At only 1427g (@ 165cm length) and with the addition of the Suspension Tip and Tail (a rubbery "bumper" for whatever the ski comes in contact with), it is a fantastic touring ski as well. Regardless of resort skiing glory, off-piste endeavors, or backcountry objectives, the Blaze 94 offers an incredibly wide range of use in all conditions. - 3D Radius Sidecut - Full Sidewall - Titanal Binding Platform - Suspension Tips & Tails - Base: P-Tex 2100

The Kenja 88 shines with an impressive carving performance due to the three different radii in the sidecut. This special geometry is 100% adjusted to the tip & tail rocker construction. Depending on the rider's speed or edge angle, the effective edge becomes longer or shorter and the matching sidecut radius provides hold, maneuverability, and smooth operation. On top, the Kenja 88 is built with a Titanal Frame and Carbon Tips, providing more stability and dampening. At the same time, the middle section of the ski becomes stronger and allows a softer setup. As a result, the ski becomes extremely lively and stable even at the highest speeds. A Multilayer woodcore framed by full sidewalls and a P-Tex 2100 base underneath rounds out the premium construction, perfectly adjusted to speed-loving female freeriders. Titanal Frame - More damping and stability over the full length of the ski. 3 Radius Sidecut - Three radii in one ski for maximum turning & speed versatility in all-mountain skiing. Full Sidewall - Direct and strong power transmission with full-length sidewalls. Multilayer Woodcore - The combination of beech and poplar results in an extremely durable wood core composed of hardwood in the binding area and lighter wood around. - Rocker: Tip & Tail Rocker - Core: Multilayer Woodcore, Poplar/Beech - Base: P-Tex 2100 - Skiing Level: Intermediate, Advanced, Professional

A ski for the rad woman who loves to ski everything on the mountain with speed and precision. When it comes to the buffet of skiing, if you are a glutton that cannot decide between groomers or powder, bumps or trees, the Kenja 88 is the plate (ski) that can handle your hearty appetite. The impressive carving performance comes from the three different radii in the sidecut, aka: the 3D Radius Sidecut design. Depending on speed and edge angle, the snow connects with a different part of the ski, supporting that specific turn, managing the terrain and forces smoothly. The tip and tail rocker make any turn shape initiation more fluid, plus provide clearance when the slope becomes deep with powder (yay!) or full of crud (yay?). The Kenja 88 is also built with a Titanal frame and carbon tips that give stability without losing playfulness. The result of all of this is a ski that holds beautifully at high speeds while still remaining extremely lively. If you've got Kenja 88s on your feet, it's time to unbuckle your belt and dig into all the mountains can offer.
