The Blizzard Firebird Ti ski is an excellent choice for intermediate to advanced skiers who want a World Cup-inspired on-piste experience.
This ski offers an extraordinary combination of liveliness and forgiveness, allowing skiers to easily vary their turning arc without any difficulty. The distinctive feature of the Blizzard Firebird Ti is its Titanal layer, which gives the skiing power and stability. This makes it ideal both for those who like to maintain medium-fast speeds along the slopes and for those who prefer to tackle tight and challenging carving lines.
The 121/71mm/104 geometry makes this ski well balanced between agility and stability. The 14.5 meter turning radius allows you to make smooth and precise turns, while the Racing Construction guarantees perfect power transmission and a ready response to the skier's inputs. In summary, the Blizzard Firebird Ti ski is an excellent choice for skiers who want a high-level on-piste skiing experience, with a perfect combination of liveliness, stability and World Cup-inspired performance.
