Vlkl expands the light, nimble and not gutless goodness of the Blaze series at the narrow end this season with the Vlkl Blaze 82 Skis, and fans of a performance ski with less mass to move around are the beneficiaries. With Vlkl’s full range of tech including 3D Radius Sidewall construction in play, the Blaze 82 uses a lighter core and no metal to come up with a confident ski that weighs only 1373 grams at 166 cm – well within range of all but the lightest touring skis.
