The 2027 Blizzard Canvas 100 is part of a brand-new freeride collection from Blizzard, an all-mountain freeride platform built around a lightweight Poplar + Paulownia woodcore and a clean, freeride-focused shape. With a 100-mm waist and a versatile rocker profile, it's a daily-driver freeride ski that bridges all-mountain and powder.

Why we like it:

The Canvas 100 has a creative, energetic feel that you don't always get from a freeride ski with a real metal-free build. It's surprisingly fast edge-to-edge for the width, and there's a playful character through the tip and tail that opens up slashing, smearing, and pop-off-side-hits skiing in ways heavier freeride skis can't match.

Who it's for:

Advanced through expert skiers who want a freeride-focused all-mountain ski with personality. Ideal for soft-snow regions, freeride-leaning skiers, and anyone who wants a single ski that can handle everything from groomers to powder while staying playful.

Highlights:

The Canvas line is something genuinely new for Blizzard, designed in collaboration with Japanese-Australian artist Penelope Misa whose hand-crafted topsheet artwork is itself a defining feature of the ski. The Light Sandwich Full Sidewall construction wraps a full-length poplar and paulownia woodcore for a layup that's lighter than Blizzard's metal-laminated all-mountain skis but still carries plenty of structure and stability through the turn. The rocker profile combines a rockered tip, camber underfoot, and rockered tail, giving the Canvas 100 real maneuverability in soft snow and tight terrain while keeping it grippy on harder days. The clean, sandwich construction with full sidewall delivers consistent power transfer along the ski's length, and the lighter overall weight makes the Canvas feel quicker and more reactive than its waist would suggest.

Things to consider:

No metal in the layup means the Canvas 100 trades some high-speed damping and edge stability for the playful character and lighter feel. Hard chargers who want maximum stability on chopped-up terrain should look at the Anomaly 102 instead.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to length. Pick the length that matches your usual all-mountain length, or size up if you ski mostly in soft snow and bigger terrain.
