Blizzard
The magic under the HRC’s hood is an all-new Race Trueblend woodcore, paired with a Double Titanal Sandwich Compound Sidewall construction and an all-new proprietary Race Plate binding interface.
3 TI CONSTRUCTION: Race flex and driving precision
A solution tested by our athletes; designed to work as one with the Trueblend Race woodcore.
3 areas of stiffness to match the different areas of flex of the Trueblend Race.
A “soft” and precise turn initiation, amazing grip and support underfoot and finally a boosted acceleration while exiting the turn.
PERFECT BALANCED FLEX
Two different types of wood, ash and poplar, specifically blended into one woodcore. The different density stringers are customized in quantity and length creating 3 different areas of density to precisely control the flex.
RACING PERFORMANCE
The Trueblend Race Woodcore is designed with a harder flex zone in the center, that provides stability and edge grip, a medium flex zone in front of and behind the binding that provides control, and a soft flex zone in the tip and tail that provides easy turn initiation and release. Trueblend technology allows us to precisely control the flex throughout the whole length of the ski and in every size.

Since 1945, Blizzard has made skis for nearly everyone. The on-piste carvers. The big-cliff senders. The high-alpine climbers. The down-low aprés-ers.
Skiing is who we are
We were established almost 75 years ago by John Monod, a Swiss mountain guide and ski instructor. Quality outdoor gear is what our brand was built upon since 1949.
Sure can! When you purchase both skis and bindings from us, we mount for free! Once you place your order, one of our customer service associates will reach out with needed info. If you purchase skis only, you must be able to come by the store with your boots and bindings for mounting. We will not accept bindings by courier.
Skis count as an oversized item therefore we will charge a flat rate of $21 on top of your selected shipping method on every order. For more information about shipping costs, see our shipping policy here.
Standard shipping estimates are as follows:
Alberta and British Columbia: 2-4 business days
Saskatchewan and Manitoba: 3 - 4 business days
All other provinces and territories: 5 - 9 business days
