Blizzard FIREBIRD RACETYPE MT (FLAT+PLT) Ski Set for Race Slopes
Designed for piste racing, this alpine ski features dimensions optimized for precise control on groomed snow, with a 120 mm tip, a 67 mm waist, and a 100 mm tail. The turning radius varies depending on the reference length: 14 m for the 167 cm model, 15 m for the 173 cm model, and 16 m for the 179 cm model, allowing expert skiers to choose the right ski based on their turning style and the desired turn length. The range of sizes—167, 173, and 179 cm—offers a cohesive lineup for racing use, while the purple color gives the ski a strong visual identity on the slopes. This Flat + Plate pack includes a Race Plate Pro B, designed to provide a stable interface between the ski and the binding, in line with on-piste racing.
A technical construction designed for expert skiers
The Blizzard FIREBIRD RACETYPE MT (FLAT+PLT) ski pack features a carbon sandwich construction that prioritizes stability and responsiveness—two key criteria for an expert-level ski. The Trueblend Woodcore, featured here in the Trueblend Race Woodcore version, utilizes a wood composition optimized for racing, with a structure engineered for precise handling along the entire length of the ski. The three layers of Titanal Racing (3 Full Ti Racing + Trueblend Race) complement this architecture to enhance torsional stiffness and the ski’s consistency under heavy pressure. The Full Phenol sidewalls, designed for direct power transfer, are part of a construction developed by BLIZZARD’s Racing department, which is geared toward competition and intensive training.
Full Camber profile and race base for a high-performance piste ski
The Full Camber profile of the FIREBIRD RACETYPE MT (FLAT+PLT) features a traditional camber without rocker—described as both “rocker” and “Full Camber”—which enhances edge grip on the snow and contributes to precise turning behavior. This configuration is particularly well-suited for piste racing, where precise edge placement and consistent edge grip play a central role. The World Cup racing base, integrated into the construction, is designed for high-performance glide and meticulous preparation for racing use. With factory-set edge angles of 0.7° at the base and 87° on the sides, the ski comes pre-tuned for aggressive on-piste skiing, providing expert skiers with a technical foundation ready for training and race days.
