The read

The Blaze 104 is an advanced all-mountain ski built for mixed snow, freeride, and touring use. Its 104mm waist sits near the top of the all-mountain cohort for width, while its lighter-than-median weight and tip-camber-tail rocker profile favor quick, agile movement through variable conditions. A titanal binding platform and four-radius sidecut add edge grip and turn adaptability, rewarding advanced skiers who want a nimble but capable ski across resort and backcountry terrain.

Specs & what they mean

What the Blaze 104 Purple's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

This sidecut layers several radii along the edge, shifting from shorter turns at lower speed to longer, steadier arcs as it's driven harder.

Stability & dampness

A titanal platform under the binding adds mount strength and power transfer — without the weight of a full sheet. At 1,740 g it stays maneuverable underfoot.

Float & width

At 104 mm it's a wide, soft-snow ski built to float and plane more than to carve hardpack. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
