TRUEBLEND RACE WOODCORE

PERFECT BALANCED FLEX
Two different types of wood, ash and poplar, 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.

RACING PERFORMANCE
The Trueblend Race 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.

TRUEBLEND ALL MOUNTAIN WOODCORE

AN EXCLUSIVE BLEND OF WOODS PROVIDING 3 AREAS OF DENSITY

HIGH DENSITY WOOD STRINGERS
The TRUE BLEND WOODCORE technology is made of a blend of two different woods. The high density wood stringers are built into the ski wood core.
By modifying their length and number, we can control the flex very precisely.
Harder flex in the center where you need more strength and softer in the tip and tail for more forgiveness and an easy power release.

THE RIGHT FLEX WHERE YOU NEED IT
Thanks to the True Blend WoodCore technology we are able to control the flex precisely through the whole length of the ski, maintaining the desidered behaviour the same for all sizes.

TRUEBLEND FREE WOODCORE

PERFECT BALANCED FLEX
We have designed a specific Trueblend Free Woodcore for our freeride / back country category skis. 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.

PERFORMANCE WITHOUT COMPROMISES
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.

TRUEBLEND TOUR WOODCORE

PERFECT BALANCED FLEX
The Trueblend Tour Woodcore has a specific design with two different density areas: the stronger center, which guarantees maximum support, edge grip and stability underfoot; a softer tip to tackle all snow conditions with the same level of performance; and a supportive tail for higher confidence downhill.

We use a specific blend of woods to deliver perfect flex for light touring requirements.
Paulownia offers an unbeatable strength-to-weight ratio, while poplar gives high energy performance without sacrificing durability.

3 TI CONSTRUCTION

3 TI CONSTRUCTION: Race flex and driving precision. A solution tested by our athletes; designed to work as one with the Trueblend Race woodcore.
3 areas of stiffness to match the different areas of flex of the Trueblend Race.
A “soft” and precise turn initiation, amazing grip and support underfoot and finally a boosted acceleration while exiting the turn.

2 Ti CONSTRUCTION

Blizzard's double Ti constrruction is time tested and now improved as it is blended with progressive material concepts to ensure your performance on demand is met with precise edge grip, a responsive round flex and excellent stability and control at any speed.

Ti INSERT CONSTRUCTION

A more user friendly - single Ti Layer of contrstruction, that offfers a smooth and accessible level of edge grip, while maintaining significant stability with easier turn Initiation.

FLUXFORM ALL MOUNTAIN

STABLE YET PLAYFUL
Fluxform All-Mountain uses four individual pieces of titanal, creating a strong ski that prioritizes stability at speed but makes no compromises on playfulness or versatility.

W.S.D. FLUXFORM ALL MOUNTAIN

STABLE YET PLAYFUL
Three Women’s-Specific pieces of titanal are designed to provide confidence and stability at speed all while maintaining the Black Pearl’s playful attitude.

FLUXFORM FREERIDE

The FluxForm is designed to work in perfect combination with the Trueblend Wood Core. As its core construction the FluxForm is specifically sized for each model. Tapered on the tips for perfect floating and wider on the tail for more support during fast turn in powder and landing from cliff.

TOURING CONSTRUCTION

Blizzard had been playing with new materials and construction concepts for over 75 years. Our touring skis express what this endless engineering process leads to. Combining an update version of our Carbon Drive approach with the craftiest of Trueblend Tour woodcores, and we are able to make touring skis that are not just light-weight -- but the righ-weight. Making light skis is important, but finding the ideal weight to ensure both up and downhill performance is more important. The introduction of our touring specific Trueblend woodcore was the key to finding this sweet spot. This Trueblend Tour woodcore uses a specific blend of woods to deliver perfect flex for touring requirements. Paulownia offers an unbeatable strength-to-weight ratio, while poplar gives high energy performance without sacrificing durability.

TOURING LIGHT CONSTRUCTION

Chasing weight while chasing your best time is the name of the game. Blizzard crafts a lightweight touring construction by using a Trueblend Tour specific core married together with Carbon Drive L.T. The unidirectional carbon fiber chassis offers perfect torsional strength and forgiving flex for downhill performance. The result: a ski that is not too stiff or strong, but reliable in all touring conditions.

WSD CONSTRUCTION (W2W)

Women's Specific Design is truly a the heart of our International Women To Women Program, as product excellence represents one of our most imporant pillars. A never ending process to ensure that all Blizzard Tecnica products are conceived, designed, tested and retested with the support our our international W2W product team. The goal is simply to make sure that all skis and boots we craft earn the W2W logo because each product has meaningful and polished reasons for existing and being specifically designed for our female audience.

CARBON REINFORCEMENT

The Carbon Drive 3.0 is empowered by two underfoot carbon reinforcements.
The carbon reinforcements are two edge-to-edge layers of bi-direction carbon fiber placed in the binding mounting areas, in order to provide:
IMPROVED EDGE GRIP
ENHANCED POWER TRANSMISSION

CARBON DRIVE 3.0

The Carbon Drive 3.0 is the technology upgrade of the Carbon Drive 2.0 technology: a full length 3D shaped unidirectional carbon fiber chassis running through the entire length of the ski, combined with an ultra-light pawlonia woodcore (Zero G 85, 95) or ISO/BEECH/POPPLAR core (Zero G 105): this combination guarantees a super lite construction keeping the necessary structure for performance.
Ensures optimal torsional rigidity and flex, placing the carbon in those area where it is really needed.

The new Carbon Drive has been placed below the fiberglass + carbon layer
Review of the carbon chassis shape to provide less rigidity in tip and tails.

CARBON DRIVE L.T.

The unidirectional carbon fiber chassis offers perfect torsional strength and forgiving flex for downhill performance. The result: a ski that is not too stiff or strong, but reliable in all touring conditions.

ACTIVE CARBON ARMOR

PERFORMANCE EFFICIENCY
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.

INNOVATIVE AND VISIBLE TECHNOLOGY
Active Carbon Armor provides both vibration damping and enhanced rebound and acceleration without effecting the progressive flex of the ski.
