Volkl Blaze 94 Alpine Skis Women's 2024

The Volkl Blaze 94 Freeride Ski for Women is a "sporty" 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. 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, immediately from initiation, with little effort. 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 (basically 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.

• Suggested Use
  • All-Mountain, Backcountry, Freeride, Moguls, Touring, Mixed
• Camber / Rocker Style
  • Tip and Tail Rocker
    • Bends up only in the shovel and tail zones, with a camber shape in the middle.
• Shape
  • 134-94-116
  • 3D Radius Sidecut
    • Three radii in one ski for maximum turning and speed versatility in all mountain skiing.
    • Long Tip and Tail Radius for big turns and high speed, easy steering and maneuverability. Disruption resistant at the tip with no radius limitation and ease of turn exit.
    • Tight Center Radius for short turns and lower speed. Extremely easy to initiate short turns, strikingly agile, effortless and smooth in short turns.
• Flex
  • Tips and tails a little stiffer, underfoot a little softer, causing a uniform flex and a zippy ride with smoother turns on edges
• Core Material
  • Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore
    • The extra-light hybrid multilayer wood core is a very complex core that is used in the Blaze. Light and very stable poplar and beech woods, individually weighed and selected by weight before gluing, are used in this wood core. In the tip-to-tail construction, the wood extends to the tip of the blade and end, giving them the sophisticated combination of good stability and low weight. In the center of the core, a CNC-milled Isocore area contributes to optimal liveliness and dynamic development. All in all, this design allows the stability of the ski to meet the high demands of a freeride ski, and this at a weight that is only slightly higher than that of a touring ski.
  • Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore 1
    • A particularly light and complex wood core specially developed for touring skis. In the area around the steel edges, a poplar wood hand-picked by weight provides the necessary stability, while in the center of the ski, the soft and light Paulownia wood ensures the ski's flexibility. In the binding area beech wood provides the strength, which is needed to hold the screws of the binding. In the center of the core, a CNC-milled Isocore area contributes to optimal liveliness and dynamic development. Only the lightest batch of each wood delivery makes it into these cores.
  • Multilayer Woodcore 1
    • The side wall is laminated to extremely stable layers of wood on the sides of the sandwich core. In combination with a more flexible, lighter wood built into the center of the sandwich core construction provides numerous advantages: The hardwood part immediately adjacent to the sidewall effects a higher power transmission, improves the edge grip and supports the edge against external forces. The low weight of the softwood part in the middle of the ski brings more agility and maneuverability and reduces overall ski weight. The combination of both wood types running through the entire ski length contributes to an optimal distribution of the ski stiffness increasing the steering precision. It is the first and only sidewall/core technology intended for aggressive on-piste and racing use and capable of delivering the victory and defeat, even if it is measured in hundredths of seconds.
  • Woodcore
    • Special PU construction with a wooden core in the ski body.
• Construction
  • Suspension Tips and Tails
    • Inserts made of elastic TPU material on the edges of the tip and tail which act like a bumper in wind-blown or tracked snow. Its shock-absorbing elasticity ensures better stability and catch-free float.
  • Titanal Binding Platform
    • A thin Titanal layer (0.3 mm) under the binding delivers the necessary strength to the ski. This way the binding screws offer reliable hold even in the toughest conditions.
• Sidewall
  • Full Sidewall
    • Direct and strong power transmission with full length sidewalls.
• Edges
  • All Volkl ski edges, except for the FIS Race and Adult Pro models, are manufactured and sharpened with the following standard angles: 1.4° base bevel, 87.6° sidewall.
• Base
  • P-Tex 2100
    • A sintered high-density and high molecular polyethylene base with great gliding characteristics and high durability.
• Binding Mounting System
  • Flat Skis
    • Bindings are purchased separately and drilled to the skis to mount.
