Built for high speed performance in a versatile package, the Blizzard Thunderbird R15 WB LTD Skis offer a more forgiving approach to race-ready performance. At 76mm underfoot, the Thunderbird R15 is on the wider end of the frontside spectrum and offers exceptional handling in softer snow and afternoon chop, as well as unmatched control on firm terrain. When combined with Blizzard’s TruBlend Piste Wood Core, Active Carbon Armor, and a Full Camber profile, the Thunderbird R15 becomes something of an energetic performer—endowing advanced and expert skiers with a lively feel that remains damp, precise, and engaged while carving. Two sheets of metal pair effortlessly with carbon additives to give this ski the smooth and stable boost it needs to remain easily maneuverable at high speeds, while a 15-meter turn radius ensures a dynamic and snappy ride well-suited for the most ambitious on-piste rippers. Though bred from the bloodlines of a race ski, the Thunderbird R15 remains more forgiving and approachable than most pure-bred race skis and presents expert skiers with a versatile approach to carving esteem. The resulting ride is impeccably stable, impossibly smooth, and undeniably snappy, endowing the Blizzard Thunderbird R15 WB LTD Skis with a get-up-and-go personality tailor-made for merciless charging.
