Thunderbird
When a perfectly groomed canvas of corduroy is sprawled before you, Blizzard's Thunderbird is the ski of choice. This collection with a specifically designed TrueBlend Piste woodcore, will rip high speed carved turns with the versatility to do what you want, when you want.The advanced technology that is built into these skis shows up in the details—how quickly the ski transitions from turn to turn, how stable they feel when you race toward the bottom, how precise they respond to your every whim.
The Thunderbird collection
has been specifically designed around two fundamental concepts that are key to having a great on-piste skiing experience.
First, is to deliver the highest level of on-piste performance, making it extremely accessible. The ability to have power and performance on demand has never been so available. Second, is the ability to choose models based on turn shape.
These two concepts, combined, provide with the ultimate confidence and freedom to carve and ski fast or slow on any groomed piste.

R 15
The Thunderbird R15 has the turning versatility you need to make long turns, short turns and every kind of turn in between. The perfect multi-radius ski.
Trueblend Piste Woodcore
Perfect balanced flex
Two different types of wood specifically blended into one woodcore. The different density stringers are customized in quantity and length creating 3 different areas of density to precisely control the flex.

Accessible Performance.
The Trueblend Piste Woodcore is designed with a harder flex zone in the center, that provides stability and edge grip, a medium flex zone in front of and behind the binding that provides control, and a soft flex zone in the tip and tail that provides easy turn initiation and release. Trueblend technology allows us to precisely control the flex throughout the whole length of the ski andin every size.

Performance Efficiency
Active Carbon Armor
Active Carbon Armor is a vibration damping and rebound control system that is located under the binding. Inspired by the carbon armor from the Firebird collection, the carbon fiber plate is brought outside of the ski body which allows it to flex freely. In this way the ski turns out to be less demanding while still providing a very high level of performance.
Active Carbon Armor provides both vibration damping and enhanced rebound and acceleration without effecting the progressive flex of the ski.
2 Ti Construction
Blizzard's double Ti constrruction is time tested and now improved as it is blended with progressive material concepts to ensure your performance on demand is met with precise edge grip, a responsive round flex and excellent stability and control atany speed.
Innovative and visible technologies
Durable protection
New titanal construction that is designed to provide both maximum durability and increased performance with a unique, high value look. The top titanal layer is extended to the very edge of the ski and placed directly under the top foil which is then milled back 3 mm, thus exposing it. The titanal directly absorbs all impacts that occur along the top edge, reducing scratches and eliminating chipping.
Race precision - Race plate kinematics
The new Race Plates series further improve the downhill performances of the ski. Thanks to their sliding capabilities and to the Power Metal Bridge, these plates allow for an easier turn initiation while ensuring higher turning precision.
High end details - Aluminum tail protector
Often the quality perception is given by the smallest details as well as downhill performance are often question of milliseconds. We put all our attention and passion to overcome skiers expectations making sure to build our skies with and excellent execution till the very last detail.
