Built around Blizzard's Trueblend Piste woodcore — a blend of poplar and beech that's tuned firmer underfoot for edge grip and softer through the tip and tail for easy turn release — the Phoenix 80 CA is built to reward a strong, driven stance rather than fight it. The carbon-reinforced (CA) construction keeps swing weight low, so it stays lively and easy to redirect through the variable snow you'll find lapping the front side groomers at Lake Louise or carving corduroy at Nakiska.

It comes matched with Blizzard's TPC 11 W binding, an integrated system that mounts directly to the ski's flex pattern so there's no dead spot under the boot — you get a locked-in, all-in-one setup without a separate binding purchase or install.

This is a piste-focused ski that shines on the hardpack and groomer days
