It had been 30 years since I last skied, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. But the moment I clipped into the Blizzard Brahma 88s, I was hooked. They were smooth, stable, and responsive—cutting through the blizzard like they were made for it, pun indented. All my doubts melted away, and I was reminded of how much I’d missed this. The Brahma 88s made me feel like I was flying again, and just like that, I was back in love with skiing.
As a skier in my mid-40s, I appreciate a ski that offers both performance and comfort, and the Volkl Blaze 86 delivers on both. It’s incredibly light and responsive, making it easy to navigate varied terrain without feeling fatigued. While it’s not the best for deep powder, it handles everything from groomed runs to lighter off-piste snow with confidence.
Have not received my skis yet why am I being asked to leave a review? They have not arrived after 14 days.
I just got these skis and I already love them! The 102 underfoot is a perfect middle ground for letting me hit some light powder but also carving the groomers.
Been having a great time on this ski up at PC! Really easy to turn and fun to use. I’m not a super advanced skier yet but these really help me get out there with my buddies
