The emerging category of lighter weight freeride skis brought in a new era for skiers seeking lively, lightweight products with easy all-day handling in a wide variety of snow conditions. These are skiers who look for alternative terrain, either adjacent to the groomers or adjacent to the resort. Trees (woods in the East!), bumps, powder stashes – wherever there is more fun to be had, Völkl’s Blaze series makes the experience better.
