Editors’ Choice

Best known for their solid performance piste skis, serious backcountry chargers and nimble touring uphillers, the new smile-inducing Blaze range from Völkl blasts into the line-up with a massive injection of freeride fresh air.

Light, playful and designed to do it all, the narrower of the two new men’s Blaze options – the 94 – came up trumps for us due to its straight-up versatility. Quick, turny and super playful, the Blaze 94 features Völkl’s infamous 3D radius sidecut, which really contributes to its agile nature.

“This thing just encourages shorter radius turn shapes,” says Rob. “Lightweight and good in soft and light chop, it’s a playful ski laden with top Völkl tech.”

The titanal under the binding area of the ski gives strength where you need it and the new suspension tip and tail ensure smooth turn initiation and a fun, lively flex.

“If you are looking for a light playful poppy freeride ski that loves a spot of touring then stop right here,” says Lee. “The Blaze 94 is a fun, pivoty ski with plenty of grip underfoot that likes to move.”

Hard-charging, cliff-hucking stompers might want to look elsewhere, but if you like your skis on the agile side of the mountain, the Blaze 94 will ignite your freeride flame.

Verdict

If you like your skis on the agile side of the mountain, the Blaze 94 will ignite your freeride flame.
