Product Info
The Blizzard Thunderbird R13 LTD Skis + XCELL 12 Demo Bindings isn't your average groomer setup — it's a confidence-inspiring carving machine that lets you push speed limits without the wobbles. A tight, snappy turn radius is complemented by Trueblend core construction and Active Carbon Armor to absorb chatter while maintaining energy, with two layers of titanal for knife-edge grip and stability.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Full Camber
Core
Trueblend Piste Woodcore – Two different types of wood specifically blended into one woodcore. The different density stringers are customized in quantity and length creating 3 different areas of density to precisely control the flex.
Laminates
Active Carbon Armor – Active Carbon Armor is a vibration damping and rebound control system that is located under the binding. Inspired by the carbon armor from the Firebird collection, the carbon fiber plate is brought outside of the ski body which allows it to flex freely. In this way the ski turns out to be less demanding while still providing a very high level of performance.
2 Ti Construction – Blizzard's double Ti constrruction is time tested and now improved as it is blended with progressive material concepts to ensure your performance on demand is met with precise edge grip, a responsive round flex and excellent stability and control at any speed.
Included Bindings
Bindings Do Not Come Mounted to Skis – Always have a certified binding technician mount and adjust your bindings.
Includes XCELL 12 Demo Bindings – DIN Range: 4 - 12

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.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Camber

Rocker Type
Camber Camber is the traditional profile for skis offering skiers lots of edge hold, especially on harder snow. A cambered ski has a smooth arch underfoot and contact points near the tip and tail when unweighted. Camber skis excel at carving on hard snow; you won’t ever see a ski racer on anything other than cambered skis.
