The Blaze 106 is the same ski as last year but with an updated graphic. True to form, Volkl builds the women's versions of its Blaze skis with the same construction as the men's. The only differences are the colors and lengths. This confirms something that you, a shredding female, already knew: you don't need dumbed-down skis. If the dudes can ski it, so can you...but probably better. The Blaze 106 W is designed to be the only ski you need for all of your resort skiing and/or alpine touring endeavors. As a lightweight resort ski, it saves your legs so you ski more. And skiing more is never a bad thing. Tapered tips give you powder surf, while a metal powerplate underfoot and a carbon stringer give you stability and power. Simply put: you ski the Blaze everywhere. That includes the backcountry, where the Blaze makes a fine alpine touring ski, helping you reap the rewards of your skintrack efforts. The Blaze pairs perfectly with a hybrid touring binding like the Marker Duke PT or Salomon Shift. But if you slap an alpine binding or tech AT setup on it, you'll still be a hero in our eyes.
