The Blaze 106 is back for the 2023 season with nothing but a graphic change. With the rise of lightweight and strong materials and new shapes, skiers have been demanding more from their skis in the last few years. Case in point: one of the most popular new types of product in the industry is the lightweight freeride ski. Why are so many people smitten? Well for one, lighter skis save your legs. Take a Blaze on vacation rather than a pair of hunking metal boards, and skiing every day for a week will be not only possible but not enough time. Added bonus: if you have to park in Timbuktu, shouldering featherweights is an easier pill to swallow. But the major appeal of these skis is their versatility. With the right pair of bindings, like a Marker Duke PT or Salomon Shift, you can use them for all-mountain resort skiing and also alpine touring in the backcountry. The Blaze is one of the best-skiing lightweight freeride skis we have ever tested, meaning it should be at the top of every aspiring tourer's list. It carves shockingly well on groomers, holding up to faster speeds than we thought it would (unless you're a bigger human who ski raced in college). Quick and snappy in the trees, its lightweight tapered tips and freeride rocker mean the Blaze helps you reap the rewards of your uphill efforts. Indeed, even avid backcountry skiers should take a long hard look. Paired with a tech binding the Blaze makes an ultra-fun everyday touring ski that's lighat enough on the up and way better than average on the down. A rare ski that can genuinely perform anywhere, from resort to remote, the Blaze is a standout. Similar skis: Line Vision 108, Armada Tracer 108.
