Ski Package BLIZZARD B.Thunderbird (8A5326) + Bindings TPX 12 Demo (8C1003AG-001)

The Blizzard Thunderbird + TPX 12 Demo pack embodies the excellence of engineering applied to high-performance alpine carving, delivering the unrelenting precision of the World Cup alongside the control required to rule resort trails all day long. Featuring a highly responsive 70 mm waist and a technical geometry of 121-70-102 mm, this ski is optimized to slice through hardpack and pure ice sheets with total authority, providing thrilling acceleration and dynamic rebound out of every single turn.

The core foundation of its outstanding performance lies in the hidden technology within. Its Trueblend Piste Woodcore strategically pairs beech and poplar wood stringers of varying densities. Underfoot, the core is highly dense and rigid to withstand extreme lateral forces, backed by two full layers of Titanal (Double Titanal) to generate massive torsional stiffness so the ski never washes out. Towards the tip and tail, the core turns progressively more elastic, allowing for a smooth and intuitive turn initiation. Its classic Tip to Tail Camber profile ensures uninterrupted edge contact with the snow, while the factory edge tuning (0.9° on the base and 87.5° on the side) guarantees an immediate, clean engagement on frozen walls. The entire system is stabilized by Full ABS sidewalls and a two-piece plate with an integrated bridge system, allowing uniform and smooth ski deformation.

This model spans a wide spectrum of high-level skiers. On one hand, it is the ideal tool for advanced-intermediate skiers who have moved beyond the basics and feel comfortable on the slopes making strong parallel turns with solid edge control; these skiers are looking for a technical ski that allows them to manage their speed across variable terrain and snow conditions while building the confidence to take on harder runs. On the other hand, it is the perfect match for highly experienced expert skiers who easily tackle all types of terrain with clean technique at high speeds, staying balanced, controlled, and confident while enjoying the challenge of variable conditions —from perfect groomers to hard or uneven snow pack— and adapting quickly to unexpected obstacles along the way. The Blizzard Thunderbird comes with Marker TPX 12 Demo bindings, which ensure top-tier release safety and adjust to fit different boot sizes in seconds without any tools, being fully compatible with alpine standards and GripWalk®.
