To be sure, these are still Blizzard s so the Sheeva 9 is perfectly capable of ripping a clean turn at speed, but the more relaxed profile makes it more fun in bumps and trees. If you're looking for a single ski to handle it all with power and style, the Sheeva 9 is a sure winner.
Rocker Camber Rocker – Ski profile with rocker at the tip and tail, camber in the middle. Reducing the pressure on the edge at the tip and tail makes the ski even easier to handle and increases flotation on powder snow. The camber guarantees great grip on packed snow.
Rocker Concept – Increased tip and tail rocker to ensure ideal flotation at all speeds. Camber underfoot to provide control on compact snow.
W.S.D. Shape Concept – Progressive wide body style with an aggressive radius. Early rise tail designed to be playful in softer snow.
Multi-Layer Wood Core – ISO, Poplar, Beech, Balsa, Paulownia
Carbon Flipcore D.R.T. – Blizzard's Dynamic Release Technology, shared by the Spur, Rustler and Sheeva series, utilizes a specially shaped Titanal component that is full width under the boot but tapers toward the tip and tail of the ski, to increase the ski's playfulness without the weight penalty and without sacrificing stability. Combined with unidirectional carbon fiber in the tip and tail, longitudinal stability is retained while torsional rigidity is lessened for a more playful and less hooky feel.
Uni-Directional Carbon Frame
D.R.T Titanal
Anti-Shock Layer
Carbon Fiberglass Compound
Sandwich Compound Sidewall – All Blizzard skis with the exception of some junior skis are built with ABS or Phenol sidewalls for superior performance (stability, power transmission, handling) and durability.
