Sitting on the longer radius side of the Thunderbird collection, the R15 is built for bigger, sweeping turns across firm, groomed terrain. For those who love to go fast while keeping every move under control, this is your dream ski.
Blizzard team engineered this ultimate carving tool with their Trublend Piste Woodcore, which mixes poplar and beech for a stiffer profile underfoot and softer in the tip and tail. And to smooth out the ride—whether you’re dealing with ice or other variable snow—they’ve added a carbon plate (carbon armor) across the topsheet.
It’s time to bring top performance to your mountain, and this R15 is ready to fly.

Active Armor is a vibration damping and rebound control system that is located under the binding. Inspired by the carbon armor from the Firebird collection, the plate is brought outside of the ski body which allows it to flex freely. In this way the ski turns out to be less demanding while still providing a very high level of performance.
DURABLE PROTECTION New titanal construction that is designed to provide both maximum durability and increased performance with a unique, high value look. The top titanal layer is extended to the very edge of the ski and placed directly under the top foil which is then milled back 3 mm, thus exposing it. The titanal directly absorbs all impacts that occur along the top edge, reducing scratches and eliminating chipping.
PERFECT BALANCED FLEX ACCESSIBLE PERFORMANCE
Two different types of wood specifically blended into one woodcore. The different density stringers are customized in quantity and length creating 3 different areas of density to precisely control the flex.
The Trueblend Piste Woodcore is designed with a harder flex zone in the center, that provides stability and edge grip, a medium flex zone in front of and behind the binding that provides control, and a soft flex zone in the tip and tail that provides easy turn initiation and release. Trueblend technology allows us to precisely control the flex throughout the whole length of the ski and in every size.
