The Blizzard Thunderbird R15 WB LTD carving ski gets its individually tuned dynamics from the Trueblend Piste Woodcore. In this case, different types of wood are glued longitudinally in different hardnesses in particularly small sections.

To absorb vibrations and recoil on the hard piste, Blizzard has developed Active Carbon Armor technology, a carbon layer directly under the binding. This makes the ski easier to ride and still offers full performance. The new Titanal construction Duramax improves durability and also performance.

The high-quality matt-gloss finish rounds off the premium model. The ski is supplied with the Marker Xcell12 Demo binding.

Details:
• Construction: 2Ti Duramax Sandwich Full Sidewall
• Core & Material: Trueblend Piste Woodcore
• Rocker: Full Camber

Technology

TRUEBLEND PISTE WOODCORE
Two different types of wood specifically blended into one woodcore. The different density stringers are customized in quantity and length creating 3 different areas of density to precisely control the flex.
The Trueblend Piste Woodcore is designed with a harder flex zone in the center, that provides stability and edge grip, a medium flex zone in front of and behind the binding that provides control, and a soft flex zone in the tip and tail that provides easy turn initiation and release. Trueblend technology allows us to precisely control the flex throughout the whole length of the ski and in every size.
 
ACTIVE CARBON ARMOR
Active Carbon Armor is a vibration damping and rebound control system that is located under the binding. Inspired by the carbon armor from the Firebird collection, the carbon fiber plate is brought outside of the ski body which allows it to flex freely. In this way the ski turns out to be less demanding while still providing a very high level of performance.
Active Carbon Armor provides both vibration damping and enhanced rebound and acceleration without effecting the progressive flex of the ski.
 
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.
