Super lightweight, maneuverable and resource-friendly produced all-mountain women's freerider.
Ex UK Ski Test Demo Ski
This is an ex demo ski from the UK ski test, it has done just a couple of runs at the test, on snow, so is in near perfect condition, with minoor marks that you would expect of a ski having been taken up a bubble and chairlift and skied down. It comes with a full warranty, and is waxed and polished before shipping or collection.
The women's version of the new Blaze 82 with the W in the name is a super lightweight and agile all-mountain freeride ski for ambitious beginners. They will benefit from its low weight as well as its fantastic performance.
Cruising on the slopes is where this ski is meant to be.The relatively narrow center width in combination with the 3D Radius Sidecut enables a sporty, agile skiing style and at the same time ensures that the Blaze can be turned without great force even at lower speeds.
The smooth riding characteristics are supported by the new suspension tips & tails which we integrated in this model for the first time. The inserts of elastic material dampen snow contact at the ski tips and work like a bumper, especially in changing snow conditions.
The Blaze 82 W is also highly recommended for every occasional ski tourer. Equipped with the appropriate binding, the ski is versatile and can be used for touring. And thanks to its low weight, the ascent is no problem.
Ski Buyers Guide
Buying a pair of skis doesn't need to be a daunting experience. When buying a pair of skis, there are a few simple pieces of information that will help you to find your perfect match. With the introduction of carving skis and new technology, ski length is based more on the user’s weight than the tradition of using your height. Combine this with your ski level and your aspirations and this will help narrow your choice very quickly. Follow these simple steps:

6 - I am getting confident on reds, and maybe doing the odd black
7 - I am comfortable skiing most black runs
