Product Info
The Blizzard Viva 8.0 Skis are a fantastic all-mountain carving setup for the aggressive skier. Featuring Blizzard's 3D Flip Core technology, this unique wood core construction is sandwiched with Spaceframe 3D fiberglass and carbon laminates, for a super stable and powerful ride at speed. The 80 mm waist is suitable for carving groomers, while allowing you to enjoy a few inches of fresh snow as well.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Tip and Tail Rocker – Slight tip and tail rocker with camber underfoot for a balance of soft snow performance and carving
Core
Flipcore 3D Technology – The wood core of the ski is inserted upside-down, so that the downward-facing, convex side of the core creates a natural bend. This natural rocker shape is already built into the construction of the ski, without need for additional pressing.
Laminates
Spaceframe 3D – A special lightweight 3D reinforcement layer, that provides completely new dimensions in swing weight and torsional rigidity.
Double Quadrax Fiberglass
Carbon
Sidewalls
Sandwich Sidewall Construction – Up to 15x less vibration // Active power & control // Better edge grip // Dynamic power // Less fatigue
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain
Carving For those that like the classic feeling of laying a ski over on edge and arcing a perfect turn, carving skis are what you want. These skis have narrower waists and shorter turn radii for edge to edge quickness and responsive turn initiation and exit on groomed runs and hard pack. The beginner-intermediate skis in this category are designed to make learning how to turn as easy as going from pizza to French fries. All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Tail Type:

Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
