BLIZZARD Thunderbird R15 + TPX 12 Demo

High-performance on-piste skis for demanding skiers who seek precision, energy, and dynamic carving performance on groomed slopes while maintaining greater versatility than a pure racing slalom ski

The Blizzard Thunderbird R15 perfectly bridges the gap between a powerful carving ski and a race-inspired performance model. It delivers lightning-fast edge transitions, precise turn control, and outstanding stability, while remaining more forgiving and comfortable than a dedicated race ski.

Thanks to the combination of Active Armor technology, Sandwich Full Sidewall 2Ti construction, and the advanced Trueblend Piste Woodcore, the Thunderbird R15 offers exceptional power transmission, excellent vibration damping, and confidence-inspiring stability even at higher speeds.

This model is designed for skiers who enjoy both short and medium-radius turns, appreciate energetic carving, and want a ski that performs flawlessly throughout the day on perfectly groomed pistes.

Technologies

Active Armor

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.
FDT Race Plate PRO

A binding plate interface that mirrors the kinematics concept of the world cup piston plate, without the hydraulic oil piston. The system allows for specific points to slide a targeted range so the plate can allow for proper ski flex. The FDT Race Plate Pro features a metal bridge, and welcomes Marker FDT demo binding options for demo/testing application.
Trueblend Piste Woodcore

PERFECT BALANCED FLEX
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.
ACCESSIBLE PERFORMANCE
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.
