2023 Volkl Blaze 86 VMotion3 Skis w/ VMotion 10 GW Bindings

The Volkl Blaze 86 VMotion3 Skis with VMotion 10 GW Bindings is soft flexing, lightweight ski package that appeals to skiers who want an easy going, all-mountain performer. Volkl uses a multilayer wood core which provides a nice uniform flex, good stability and a lightweight profile. Contrary to a lot of Volkl's all mountain skis, the Blaze 86 doesn't really use any metal in its construction other than a plate of Titanal under the binding. This plate exists primarily for binding retention, but it does add a bit of stiffness and stability to the ski. Out in the tip and the tail, the Blaze 86 features Volkl's Suspension Tip which uses an elastic material to help dampen the ski for added stability and smooth float. Tip and tail rocker combined with Volkl's 3D radius sidecut give this ski a unique balance of maneuverability and stability. The 3D radius is very pronounced on this ski which opens up a lot of opportunity to experiment with different turn shaped both short and long. The Blaze provides great stability at high speeds on longer arcs and a lot of responsiveness and agility for short, quick turns as well. This makes the Blaze 86 ideal for bumps and tight trees but will still provide enough edge hold for firm snow too. The Volkl Blaze 86 VMotion3 Skis with VMotion 10 GW Bindings is ideal for intermediate and advanced skiers who don’t want to work too hard to enjoy their day on the slopes.
