Highlights:

The Blaze 86 is a highly versatile ski that blends playful energy with solid performance. Thanks to its Hybrid Multilayer Wood Core, the Blaze 86 provides a lightweight yet powerful feel, making it agile on turns yet stable on variable snow. The ski features Volkl’s 3D Radius sidecut, allowing the skier to easily dictate a variety of turn shapes, and the combination of camber underfoot with rocker in the tips provides the best of both worlds: effortless turning with excellent grip on firmer snow, plus extra float and ease in softer conditions. Tyrolia really packs a lot of great tech into the TX 10 binding, including some of their best and most effective safety featres. The TX toe offers a 180° release, and precise and rapid re-centering of the boot, helping to improve performance while reducing the load on your precious knees. The SXG heel is easy to step into, something which lighter skiers will especially appreciate. With GripWalk compatibility and a sleek design, the TX 10's are ready for your next adventure.

Things to consider:

Heavier or more aggressive skiers may find the Blaze 86 W a bit too soft and might prefer a stiffer, more performance-driven option. If you’re seeking a ski that excels in deep powder or at high speeds, you may want to look for a ski with a wider waist or a more robust construction.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Blaze 86 W skis true to size.
