The 2027 Blizzard Anomaly 102 with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is the wider, freeride-leaning member of the Anomaly Series, built on a Trueblend Free woodcore that adds paulownia for extra float and lighter swing weight. It is a one-ski-quiver platform for skiers in deeper-snow zones who want a daily driver capable of charging powder. We paired the Anomaly 102 with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

Why we like it:

The most impressive thing about the Anomaly 102 is how settled it stays in soft, chopped-up afternoon snow. A wide platform over a two-sheet titanal layup gives it a planted feel that is unusual on a ski you can still truly carve once the surface firms up.

Who it's for:

Advanced and expert skiers after a freeride-leaning daily driver, particularly in deeper-snow regions. It is a strong pick for one-ski-quiver buyers, big-mountain riders, and skiers who spend more time in soft snow than on groomers yet still want real grip when the day demands it.

Highlights:

What separates this ski from its narrower siblings is the Trueblend Free woodcore, which folds paulownia into the beech and poplar mix to trim weight and lift float, so a 102 mm waist still feels nimble underfoot. Two sheets of titanal in the 2Ti layup supply damping and edge stability where speed builds, and the FluxForm All Mountain structure binds the package into a predictable flex with reliable torsional response. Rocker fore and aft framing camber underfoot opens up genuine soft-snow performance while keeping enough edge engaged for hardpack. Rubber inserts at the contact points soak up chatter, so mixed snow that would have most wide skis fighting back stays smooth. With a low stand height of just 17 millimeters, the 2027 Tyrolia Attack 14 offers an impressively close connection to the snow, delivering precise power transmission and a confident, locked-in feel. The FR Pro3 toe piece allows for a full 180 degrees of boot release, enhancing safety in a variety of fall scenarios, while the AFS (Anti-Friction Slider) ensures reliable re-centering and consistent release characteristics. Built to withstand hard use, the Attack 14 combines durability with performance, making it a go-to option for aggressive skiers who demand trust in their gear.

Things to consider:

The Anomaly 102 leans further toward freeride and soft snow than the rest of the line. Skiers fixed on hardpack carving or frontside precision will be happier on the Anomaly 88 or 94.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Grab your everyday all-mountain length if you like high speeds and open steeps, or consider one size down for added maneuverability in tight terrain.
