Blizzard ZERO G 096 W (FLAT) Skis

The Blizzard ZERO G 096 W (FLAT) skis are designed for a unisex audience interested in ski touring, though this model is specifically tailored for experienced female skiers. This touring ski prioritizes lightness and versatility to handle both ascents and descents with ease. Its Trueblend Tour construction with an ash insert and a 96 mm waist in the 164 cm length provide a balance between stability and maneuverability. Weighing 1,140 g per ski and featuring a double rocker at the tip and tail, it’s designed for demanding use in varied terrain, while remaining accessible for regular ski touring.

A Trueblend Tour construction for stable and lightweight touring

At the heart of the Blizzard ZERO G 096 W (FLAT) skis, the Trueblend Tour construction with an ash insert provides a wood structure optimized for ski touring. This wood core with an ash insert underfoot is designed to provide controlled stiffness where the ski is under the most stress, for better stability when pushing off, particularly during long ascents and when pushing hard on descents. The distribution of wood densities is designed to ensure progressive flex, which contributes to a consistent feel along the entire length of the ski. In practice, this design maintains a high level of performance without adding weight to the ski—an important consideration for repeated ski-touring outings throughout the WINTER 2026 and WINTER 2027 seasons.

A 96 mm waist and dual rocker for versatility in varied terrain

With dimensions of 125-96-109 mm in the 164 cm size, this model falls into the mid-width category, making it suitable for versatile ski touring. The 96 mm waist strikes a balance between float and precision, allowing for comfortable skiing on different snow conditions without specializing in a single type of terrain. The double rocker at the tip and tail promotes a smoother turn initiation and a more gradual pivot, which can make the skiing experience more intuitive for experienced skiers. On the descent, this combination of sidecut and rocker provides effective edge length while minimizing stress during direction changes, contributing to a smoother ride on varied terrain.

18-meter turning radius and lightweight design for advanced female skiers

The 18-meter turning radius in the 164 cm size positions the Blizzard ZERO G 096 W (FLAT) into the category of stable handling, with well-controlled medium-sized turns, suited for experienced skiers seeking a consistent line rather than a twitchy response. This radius allows for a smooth transition from one turn to the next while maintaining consistent control, which is particularly useful for ski touring trips where snow conditions can vary from one slope to the next. The listed weight of 1,140 g per ski in the 164 cm size is reasonable for a touring ski of this width, minimizing fatigue on the ascent while retaining enough material to provide solid support underfoot on the descent. Manufactured in Austria, this model embodies an approach focused on technical performance and reliability, with a design tailored to experienced female skiers seeking a single solution for both ascents and descents.

The Blizzard ZERO G 096 W (FLAT) thus offer a combination of Trueblend Tour construction, a width of 96 mm, and a 18 m radius designed for unisex ski touring, with particular attention paid to the needs of experienced female skiers seeking lightness and stability.
