The "small" Sheeva is still a real freeride weapon. And above all, it has pronounced all-round properties, because with a center width of 96 millimeters, the Blizzard Sheeva 9 ski is versatile.
The Blizzard Sheeva 9 is a light freeride ski with a playful character that also invites you to carve on the piste. It was designed for female skiers with a progressive skiing style. With a center width of 96 millimeters, the ski is versatile.
The new Trueblend Freeride wood core has a small-part construction that combines dynamics, balance and stability. There are three Titanal layers on the wood core, which provide additional stability for jumps or fast turns. The high-quality Duramax surface finish stands for durability and robustness.

Technology
DURAMAX
New titanal construction that is designed to provide both maximum durability and increased performance with a unique, high value look. The top titanal layer is extended to the very edge of the ski and placed directly under the top foil which is then milled back 3 mm, thus exposing it. The titanal directly absorbs all impacts that occur along the top edge, reducing scratches and eliminating chipping.
TRUEBLEND FREE WOODCORE
It combines beech and poplar – two wood types that guarantee performance – with paulownia for a lightweight, yet high-performance wood core.
The result: the right flex to cover for all backcountry requirements in a lighter package.
The Trueblend Free Woodcore specifically positions three different densities of wood together to form a woodcore that is specifically designed to optimize the flex of the ski and deliver a smooth and balanced feeling.
This blending of the different densities of wood creates three distinct flex zones; a softer flex zone in the tip and tail areas, that facilitates easy turn initiation and release, a medium flex zone in front of and behind the binding, that helps deliver confidence and control and finally a stiffer flex zone in the center, underneath the binding, that guarantees perfect edge grip and stability.
Trueblend woodcores are designed to provide just the right amount what you need, performance, control, and confidence, to do what you want, when you want anywhere on the mountain.
+ Fritschi Vipec Evo 12 bindings
One binding, three colours. The Fritschi Vipec EVO bindings can easily be colour-coordinated with your outfit. And the extended DIN setting range of 4-12 covers the safety needs of the vast majority of ski tourers and freeriders.
The Fritschi Evo 12 is a light-weight system offering the greatest possible safety in addition to an easy, ergonomic climbing technique and precise and agile control to ski downhill.
All parts are manufactured in Switzerland and assembled into high-quality products in Reichenbach. After the assembly, every binding undergoes a meticulous quality control process, including a functional test. In other words, the Vipec Evo is now even more stable and durable.
Features:
• Solid stop in front to step in - Easy step-in
The tip of the boot is optimally positioned by means of a solid stop in front and a positioning guide. Responding to slight pressure, the system closes with the pin levers engaging precisely in the inserts.
The sequence of movements is comparable with that of an alpine binding.
• Lateral release with DIN-setting at the toe - In front, same as in alpine bindings
The pin-binding with lateral release and DIN set-ting at the toe, where the lateral forces are acting in the event of a fall.
• Elasticity of 13 mm - Releasing only if necessary
The highest elasticity of 13 mm prevents an un-wanted release and cushions any lateral impact so that the ski always maintains a firm grip.
• Release Lever - Immediate release of the boot with front release
After the release of the heel, the boot tips for-ward. Due to the pressure of the front of the boot on the Release Lever, the boot is also immedi-ately released by the toe unit.
• Emergency release when climbing - Solid support while climbing and safety in an emergency
The boot is fixed and held in the middle, but the binding will release in response to high active forces. Clamping systems must be blocked while climb-ing to ensure stability.
• Complete easy handling package - Safety in any terrain and in all conditions
Switching from downhill to uphill mode and vice versa is very simple without having to step out of the binding. The three ergonomically walk mode levels can also be changed in no time with a pole.
No other pin binding offers this level of comfort in all functions.
• Solid, non-turning heel - Precise and safe control of skis
The heel unit always remains laterally stable. Unlike other pin bindings, the power flow is not in-terrupted by a rotating movement when the skis turn.
• Incl. color clips
