The read

The Blaze 114 is a freeride ski built for backcountry, big mountain, and powder terrain, rated for advanced skiers. Its rocker-camber-rocker profile and three-radius sidecut support float in deep snow and adaptable turn shaping, while a titanal binding platform adds precision underfoot without weighting the tips and tails. Wider than most freeride skis in the catalog, it suits an advanced skier seeking a capable powder and touring tool that can handle occasional groomer runs.

Specs & what they mean

What the Blaze 114's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A three-radius sidecut blends a shorter radius at the tip and tail with a longer one underfoot, so turn shape changes with how hard the ski is driven — tighter entry, longer and steadier through the arc.

Stability & dampness

A titanal platform under the binding adds mount strength and power transfer — without the weight of a full sheet. At 1,945 g there's real mass behind it.

Float & width

At 114 mm this is a powder width, built to stay on top in deep snow and surf rather than carve. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
