The Volkl Blaze 82 with Tyrolia TX 10 Bindings is a lightweight, intuitive, all-mountain setup that’s perfect for progression on both groomed terrain and in soft snow. Thanks to a feather light wood core, tip and tail rocker, and Volkl’s 3D Radius sidecut, the Blaze 82 offers performance and grip on firm snow along with the adaptability to handle soft snow and changing conditions. We paired the Blaze 82 with the Tyrolia TX 10 in order to maintain the ski's light weight feel while incorporating safety, performance, and reliability. The TX toepiece offers a 180° release and efficient re-centering of the boot, relieving strain on your knees for a full day of fun.

Why we like it:

We like how user friendly and versatile the Blaze 82 is, which makes it a nice option for those looking to progress their skills across the entire mountain.

Who it's for:

The Blaze 82 is a great choice for advanced beginners and progressing intermediates who are looking to expand their comfort zone to include soft snow conditions and more variable terrain such as bumps and trees.

Highlights:

Volkl’s Multilayer Wood Core is the foundation for the Blaze 82, and contributes significantly to its light weight and friendly flex. Rocker in the tip and tail, along with the 3D Radius Sidecut that Volkl is known for, increases the ski’s maneuverability and allows the skier to dictate a variety of turn shapes, while Suspension Tips and Tails help to mitigate chatter and offer a smooth feeling throughout the turn. Tyrolia really packs a lot of great tech into the TX 10 binding, including some of their best and most effective safety featres. The TX toe offers a 180° release, and precise and rapid re-centering of the boot, helping to improve performance while reducing the load on your precious knees. The SXG heel is easy to step into, something which lighter skiers will especially appreciate. With GripWalk compatibility and a sleek design, the TX 10's are ready for your next adventure.
