These are the model’s numbers, not measurements. Carve radius comes from the sidecut, so it does not change with weight; edge hold and float do. Flex and camber are our estimates (see “What the model uses” below).

What reviewers say
2025 Blizzard Sheeva 9
The redesigned model gains power and broadens its capabilities across varied conditions. A slightly wider waist enhances performance in soft snow and rougher surfaces, while the updated wood core ensures a balanced, adaptable flex for any length. It offers straightforward steering and easily releases from carved lines into controlled drifts, catering well to lighter touch skiers.
“one of the most accessible, easy-to-steer models”

Emily Crofton · 24 May 2023
The redesigned Sheeva 9 receives an updated shape and construction, widening to 96 mm underfoot with tailored Titanal framing and a multi-density wood core. Testing shows it carves cleanly on firm snow and slush with great edge hold and energy, while remaining maneuverable and forgiving off-piste in tighter terrain. It functions effectively as a versatile daily driver across diverse conditions without feeling overly demanding.
“Easy to initiate, carve and energetically release from a turn” (Emily Crofton)
