{"product_id":"2027-blizzard-firebird-wrc-skis-8a633800","title":"2027 Blizzard Firebird WRC Skis","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2027 Blizzard Firebird WRC is a true GS-leaning race ski, a long-radius cousin in the Firebird race lineup that's built for high-speed carving on race-grade snow. Handmade in Austria with Blizzard's Trueblend Race woodcore and a 3-titanal racing construction, it's a serious tool for skiers who want a competition-ready ski for fast, big-arc turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFew non-FIS race skis have this level of damping and edge hold. The 3Ti construction makes the Firebird WRC feel utterly locked in at speed, with a quietness through the turn that's a step above what most carving skis at this level can produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpert skiers who want a true high-performance race-style ski for fast, long-arc carving. Ideal for masters racers, ex-racers, and skiers with strong technique who want a real race-style platform for hardpack days at speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 3Ti Racing construction layers three sheets of titanal into the layup, which is more metal than you'll see on most non-FIS race skis. That extra titanal is what gives the WRC its damping and edge hold at high speeds, the kind of stability that lets a strong skier push the limit without the ski getting bounced around. The Trueblend Race woodcore handles the flex profile, with race-tuned wood placement that keeps the ski supportive underfoot and progressive at the tip and tail. Full camber means complete edge contact from tip to tail, and the 18.5-meter sidecut radius at the 180-cm length tilts the WRC toward GS-style turns rather than slalom. The included FDT Race Plate Pro B and Comp13 Demo binding setup is built for the demands of high-speed skiing, with adjustability for different boot sizes and stance preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThings to consider:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a race-focused ski, full stop. Stiff flex, full camber, and a long radius mean it expects to be skied with serious technique on firm snow. Recreational skiers, mellow skiers, and anyone shopping for a versatile carver should look at a less aggressive ski.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing considerations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkis true to length. Pick the length that matches your usual race or hard-charging frontside size.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blizzard","offers":[{"title":"170","offer_id":51745308803368,"sku":"8A633800|170","price":1299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"175","offer_id":51745308836136,"sku":"8A633800|175","price":1299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"180","offer_id":51745308868904,"sku":"8A633800|180","price":1299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/2027-blizzard-firebird-wrc-skis-8a633800-1-8a633800.jpg?v=1778769535","url":"https:\/\/checkout.skiessentials.com\/products\/2027-blizzard-firebird-wrc-skis-8a633800","provider":"Ski Essentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
