As the most versatile performer in the women’s Blaze series, it comes as no surprise that the Volkl Blaze 94 Women’s Skis are back by popular demand and, aside from a sleek new graphic, will return unchanged for the new season. Its directional shape, moderate waist, and ambitious profile are designed with advanced female skiers in mind and serve to bridge the gap between all-mountain performance and touring expertise. In falling on the wider end of the all-mountain spectrum, the Blaze 94 is able to achieve an unrivaled sense of versatility that—when combined with Volkl’s Hybrid Multilayer core—translates to unwavering stability on the downhill and utmost efficiency on the climb. Though it is rather lightweight for a ski of such intentions, the Blaze 94 retains its strength and stability through the implementation of a Titanal Binding Platform and Suspension Tips and Tails. When combined, these two technologies generate an unsurprising level of smoothness that comes at no cost to the Blaze 94’s impeccably lightweight feel. As a result, the Volkl Blaze 94 Women’s Ski becomes the quintessential all-mountain companion that never balks at a challenging, early-morning ascent.
