What the model says

Carve radius, to scale

  • Sidecut radius: 17 m
  • Carve radius at 30° edge: 14.7 m
  • Carve radius at 45° edge: 12 m
All three drawn on one scale, from the same starting point. A smaller arc is a tighter turn.

Edge hold and float

  • Edge hold: 85%, Holds well
  • Float: 100%, Floats well
Ticks mark where the word changes. For 90 kg at 176 cm: hold on groomed snow, float in powder. Model figures, not measurements.

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).

By ability

The Völkl Blaze 114 at 176 cm for a 90 kg skier on groomed snow. Reviewers are mostly experts, so read the left of each band for what most skiers get.

Edge hold

On firm snow, 176 cm
  • First-timer: slides (16%)
  • Beginner: slides (35%)
  • Intermediate: on the limit (60%), assumed level
  • Advanced: on the limit (81%)
  • Expert: holds well (85%)
assumed intermediate: on the limit (60%)

Float

In soft snow
  • First-timer: floats well (77%)
  • Beginner: floats well (82%)
  • Intermediate: floats well (86%), assumed level
  • Advanced: floats well (93%)
  • Expert: floats well (100%)
assumed intermediate: floats well (86%)

Ease

How forgiving it is
  • First-timer: manageable (69%)
  • Beginner: easy (100%)
  • Intermediate: easy (95%), assumed level
  • Advanced: manageable (75%)
  • Expert: manageable (66%)
assumed intermediate: easy (95%)

Our model, run with working assumptions about how each level skis (edge angle, speed, how much weight reaches the edge). Not measurements. The marked cell assumes an intermediate skier; compare with your own details to see your own level.

What reviewers say

Reviews from SkiEssentials (opens in a new tab)

  • 2024 Volkl Blaze 114 | SkiEssentials

    Reviewed as the 2024 model.

    The Volkl Blaze 114 introduces an eco-conscious design to a wide freeride platform. Built with sustainable materials and an airy core, it remains light enough for backcountry excursions while providing outstanding soft-snow flotation. Deep rocker profiles and a triple radius sidecut ensure smooth, effortless pivoting, making it nimble and composed despite its substantial dimensions.

    “takes it to the next level in terms of flotation, playfulness”
