With the Völkl Blaze 104, you get a lightweight and versatile freeride ski that offers an agile, playful and powerful riding experience both off-piste and on the slopes.

The Blaze 104 is a lightweight, agile powder ski designed with manoeuvrability as the top priority. The thin Titanal binding platform underfoot concentrates power with minimal effort, ensuring an incredibly enjoyable and dynamic turning experience the moment you initiate a turn.

In tight terrain and/or in rough conditions, the response time is impressive, especially for a ski with a deep-snow width. The full-length Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore and the overall construction are aimed at skiers who favour short turns, but the 4 Radius Drive Sidecut technology adapts to almost any skiing style.

The Blaze 104 isn’t just for the ski resort; thanks to its light weight and power, it’s also well-suited as a freeride touring ski. With the additional Suspension Tip – a rubber-like, shock-absorbing material on the tip and tail edges – the Völkl Blaze 104 cuts through powder, slush and wind-blown snow with playful power.

Technology:

Titanal Binding Platform
A 0.3 mm-thick sheet of Titanal provides the necessary strength in the binding area. The binding screws thus offer the proven reliability of a metal ski, even under the toughest conditions.

Full Sidewall ABS
The specialised synthetic material in the sidewall enables precise and direct power transfer.

Suspension Tips & Tails
Inserts made of elastic, rubber-like material at the tips and tails. In wind-blown or groomed snow, they act as a buffer. Their shock-absorbing elasticity ensures better resistance to disturbances and provides additional lift.

4 Radius Drive
An innovation from Völkl that no other manufacturer currently offers. With this technology, Völkl sets new standards in turning radius variability, combining easy handling with rock-solid stability. This new design offers maximum versatility for a range of snow conditions, both on-piste and off-piste, enhanced stability on hard surfaces and improved performance on soft snow.
Radius 1: Approx. 20 m in the front 10 centimetres. A tighter radius only at the tip of the ski to achieve a more immediate response to the skier’s initial edge movement; maximum precision and agility.
Radius 2: Approx. 40 m in the area between the ski tip and the binding. The open radius in the front section of the ski gives it greater resistance to disturbances and stability at high speeds.
Radius 3: Approx. 15 m in the area beneath the binding. The tight radius in the camber section gives the ski greater agility even with slight edge movements by the skier, thereby ensuring the necessary build-up of momentum during short turns and radical carving manoeuvres.
Radius 4: Approx. 25 metres in the area behind the binding to the tail of the ski. The moderate radius at the tail of the ski ensures controlled and situation-appropriate dynamics at the end of the turn and offers optimum support during the transition into the next turn.

3D.GLASS
Völkl’s 3D.Glass development once again enhances a ski’s handling characteristics and stability, particularly in difficult snow conditions. Compared with a classic glass construction, the three-dimensional, multi-folded fabric layers in front of and behind the binding area result in increased edge grip and a more responsive rebound of the ski during turns. 1. 3D.Glass is integrated into the tip and tail of the ski – a flat fibreglass structure beneath the binding makes the centre softer. This enables variable turning radii at any speed. 2. Fibreglass over the sidewall – ensures improved edge grip on icy slopes. 3. Vertical fibreglass structure in the front and rear sections of the ski – greater agility during rapid edge-to-edge transitions.

Base P-Tex 2100
Sintered, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene base with high density, excellent wear resistance and very good gliding properties.

Tip & Tail Rocker
Characteristics: Rocker only at the tip and tail, camber in the binding area
