2026 Volkl Blaze 104 Skis - REVIEW

  • 2025-12-29 20:09:13

    A ski that’s confident inbounds yet light enough for touring is the holy grail of ski design — and the Blaze 104 comes oh so close to fully satisfying both of these requirements. Thanks to its lighter weight and 4 Radius Drive design, it’s agile in trees and bumps and absolutely loves soft snow. The elastomer tips and tails help tame chatter in broken powder, and the 104 width enables them to float in the deepest of snow. 

    So are the 2026 Volkl Blaze 104's a quiver of one ski contender? Read the full review here to find out.
