As one of the most versatile performers in the men’s Blaze series, it comes as no surprise that the Volkl Blaze 94 Ski is back by popular demand and, aside from an epic graphic refresh, will return unchanged for the new season. Its dependable directional shape and generous waist are designed with advanced skiers in mind and remain strategically tailored to creative performance in a freeride setting. Though it falls on the narrower end of the freeride spectrum, the Blaze 94 is no stranger to backcountry pursuits and enlists the expertise of Volkl’s Hybrid Multilayer Wood Core to get there. This featherweight core perfectly balances lightness with quickness to create a substantially well-rounded ride that allows the Blaze 94 to travel outside and uphill with generous efficiency. As a result, the Blaze 94 becomes the ultimate all-conditions companion that—when combined with a Titanal Binding Platform—receives the reinforcement it requires to retain its strength despite its weight. With just the right amount of power and creativity to maintain its impeccable freeride pedigree, the Volkl Blaze 94 Ski sets forth with a gumptious stride that never wavers on the downhill or the climb.
