Blizzard Firebird WRC (Race Inspired 2023/2024)

For skiers with an affinity for a long radius and high-speed turns, the WRC is the weapon of choice in the Blizzard Firebird lineup, built with enough power under the hood you'll wish you had a seatbelt. The mullet of race skis, it combines a rock ‘n ’roll attitude with Austrian engineering to back it up, perfectly tuned for precision, stability and full throttle speed.

The magic under the hood of the WRC is an all-new Race Trueblend woodcore, paired with a Double Titanal Sandwich Compound Sidewall construction and an all-new proprietary Race Plate binding interface, resulting in a responsive ski that knows you're the one behind the wheel. Whether you're crushing beer league or laying down big GS turns on your own time, the WRC is the high-performance machine you'll want to drive. 

TRUEBLEND RACE WOODCORE

PERFECT BALANCED FLEX
Two different types of wood, ash and poplar, 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.

RACING PERFORMANCE
The Trueblend Race 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 to precisely control the flex throughout the whole length of the ski and in every size.

DURAMAX: 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.

HIGH VALUE DETAILS

Great attention to details is what makes Firebird something special.

• Matt-shiny finish 
• Storm icon plaquette 
• Gunmetal finish 
• Embossing

3 TI CONSTRUCTION: Race flex and driving precision 

• A solution tested by Blizzard's athletes; designed to work as one with the Trueblend Race woodcore.
• 3 areas of stiffness to match the different areas of flex of the Trueblend Race.
• A “soft” and precise turn initiation, amazing grip and support underfoot and finally a boosted acceleration while exiting the turn.

At the 2023/2024 WorldSkitest the skis were closely evaluated in the category „Race GS“. Tester’s opinion: "The next racer model with top performance. With the "Blizzard", our testers especially praised the stability during long turns at high speed. The "Firebird Ti" also impresses with its agility and the extraordinary dynamics it releases in the turns."
