MANUFACTURER’S OPINION

The VOLKL Blaze 82 W is a versatile ski specifically designed for women. Made by the world-renowned brand VOLKL, this ski offers good performance on various types of terrain, whether in ski touring or alpine skiing.

Here are some key features of the VOLKL Blaze 82 W ski:

Dimensions: The Blaze 82 W has a waist width of 82 mm, which gives it excellent versatility on different types of snow and terrain. This waist size offers good flotation in powder while being narrow enough for good grip on hard snow.

Construction: The ski is built with a sandwich construction, which combines different materials to offer both lightness, stability, and responsiveness. It also incorporates carbon reinforcement technology to optimize the ski’s performance and maneuverability.

Rocker: The Blaze 82 W features a slight rocker at the front of the ski (tip), which facilitates turn initiation and improves flotation in deep snow. This also helps reduce the risk of catching edges in changing snow conditions.

Bindings: The ski is compatible with traditional alpine bindings, meaning it can be used with classic alpine ski boots. Bindings are generally not included with the skis and must be purchased separately.

Weight: The weight of the Blaze 82 W is optimized to offer good uphill performance while maintaining stability and control characteristics on the descent. Although it is not as light as a ski specifically designed for touring, it is still suitable for occasional ski touring. It is important to note that the choice of a touring ski will depend on your skiing level, size, weight, personal preferences, and the snow conditions in which you ski. Before buying touring skis, it is recommended to consult a specialist or talk to a salesperson in a specialized store to get personalized advice based on your needs and skiing style.
