The Curated Take

By the Expert Community

This ski thrives in wide open spaces and ski fields. The lightness of the ski keeps your legs less fatigued when skiing crud. The Blaze easily floats through layered snow and spring conditions. It goes without saying that powder is easy and fun with this ski.

The Blaze is not made for skiing bumps or quick slalom turns, but with the Volkl 3D radius you can throw a lot of different turns at it within a run. It's lightness will keep you floating over any snow and crud but it's stiffness will allow you to take snow with speed and control.

Ideal for
  • Skiing through multiple snow surfaces with ease
  • Light and floaty
  • Easy to put on edge for wide carving turns
Not ideal for
  • Not for slalom turns or idea for hard bumps

The 2023 Völkl Blaze 106 W Women’s Ski is a delightful fusion of low weight, power, and playfulness. It is designed for advanced women skiers who set those first skin tracks in the backcountry and revel in floating through fresh powder.

Key Features:

  • Wide Waist – Its wide waist easily sets skin track and floats through powder on the ride down.
  • Ski Profile – The rocker/camber/rocker profile helps provide float and aids with turning easily through powder and trees.
  • Lightweight – It is low in weight for the skin up without sacrificing maneuverability and playfulness on the descent.

Super versatile ski! Can be mounted with either traditional bindings for on-piste powder days or frame/tech bindings for the backcountry. I chose this as my first backcountry ski and mounted with Black Diamond ATK Raider bindings for a setup that is light but maneuverable and a still pure delight in powder. Does great with the variable snow conditions encountered in... Read more

I very much enjoyed working with Leo on my ski purchase. I had done some research on my own but had not settled on a particular ski. I came across Curated by accident and did not know I would be connected to a live person - and someone who is quite knowledgeable as well! Leo listened to what I was looking for and put together some recommendations personalized for me. I was able to review these on my own schedule and later discuss my questions with Leo to finalize my selection. I’ll definitely recommend Leo and Curated to friends and will be back for my next pair of skis!

I was super skeptical of this website at first I assumed the suggestions were just from an AI generated bot, but Leo is definitely a real human and a knowledgeable one at that! He knew the area i ski in maine and made suggestions based off my skill level and northeast conditions. Can’t wait to take my new gear out in a few months!

I wanted to talk about how happy I am with my experience here at Curated and with my expert Bernard. Bernard was very helpful and knowledgeable about the equipment I was looking for, and provided different ideas on how I can make my skiing experience even more enjoyable! Bernard really is an amazing Ski Expert and I will definitely buy new gear from him from now on! Thanks Bernard! - John

Having some experience snowboarding but never owning my own equipment, I had lots of questions and needed a lot of help. I’m so glad I found curated and Josh! He was able to educate me and guide me through the process…and made sure I got a super deal. He always responded promptly and was patient with my never ending questions. All the gear is perfect, we can’t wait to hit the mountain!

I was skeptical about buying ski gear online, but with Michael's expertise and input it worked out great. No only is Michael super knowledgeable, but he really took the time to understand our requirements and match us with the right gear. Never any pressure, always patient, helpful, and super responsive. I would definitely recommend working with him.

Frankie is A1, top notch and his ratings and reviews speaks for itself. I went to 3 different ski shops in my area and I was sized wrong, told certain brands were high quality when they weren’t, would have been paying to much and just put on a bad path overall. I’m glad I stumbled upon Curated. I threw so many questions at Frankie and he welcomed and answered them all. I needed a new board, boots and bindings and I got a great deal. Got a 2024 Libtech Coldbrew with Now IPO Bindings and 32 boots for less than my local ski shops offered for Never Summer, K2, etc., packages. I can’t wait to get on the mountain! Thanks again Frankie!

I was very nervous about buying my first pair of skis as they can be quite expensive and you want to get them right, however, as soon as I found curated and was paired with Hayden all the nervousness turned into pure excitement. Hayden took the time to explain, answer questions, and pick the perfect curation for me. It made choosing skis a fun process rather than a stressful one. I highly recommend Hayden and I can't wait to hit the slopes with my new skis!

I’ve been looking for some pretty specific skis and Michael was able to help me! As a female sometimes I don’t feel like I’m taken seriously when I’m at a ski shop (I’ve tried many) and mike made it so easy! He answered my questions, was able to price match Evo, and was so approachable! Honestly thankful for people like him in the ski industry. Thank you!!

Had no idea about this website. Stumbled on just by looking for my ski gear. Im new to the sport and didn’t now exactly what I needed. I told Hayden my skill level and what I wanted and he delivered with everything I wanted plus more. Excellent experience and incredibly easy. Felt like I had somebody just as invested as I was and that was awesome. Thank you Hayden great work!
