Nordica Blower Ski

Maybe a 140-mm. waist is a little too much width. Especially if you need to take a couple of groomers to reach your big mountain backcountry stash. That's why Nordica developed the Blower as a practical-but-wide alternative to their surf-style 140-mm. wide Jah Love. The Blower offers 100-mm. of lightweight wood core floatation directly beneath your ski boots and the same sort of stability and predictable flex for deep snow found in the Jah Love. Nordica gave this ski their proven Energy Frame TI construction but refined the shape with a distinct tip design that maximizes control above deep snow. The result is a powder ski that turns easy and goes exceptionally fast through the steep backcountry terrain, although as you might expect, it's really oriented for deep snow. Before you purchase the Blower, take a moment to check out the ultra-wide turn radius specifics listed below. As long as you're focused on the steeps and deeps and don't have an urge to rip hardpack, the Blower is the perfect performer in untracked big mountain conditions.

• Binding not included
• Nordica Energy Frame TI construction
• Sidecut dimensions (tip/waist/tail in mm.): 139/110/129
• Sintered graphite UHMW Electra Gallium base
• Turn radius for 185-cm. length ski (in m.): 26 m.
• Turn radius for 193-cm. length ski (in m.): 29 m.
• Wood core

The running back of the bomber Supercharger line, the Nordica Blower Alpine Ski floats on a 110 millimeter waist and charges on a solid wood core. Experts tackle the biggest lines on this Nordica plank, then take it out for tree lines, crud and cruisers at the resort. The burly wood core gives the Blower the muscle to charge through inconsistent snow and carve deep trenches in hardpack, while the bombproof sintered graphite Electra Gallium base takes stump hits, shark fins and other below the surface nasties in stride. Go ahead—hike a ridge, rip a huge line, hammer out the avy debris at the bottom, and then cruise over to the lifts for some well-deserved corduroy. The Nordica Blower turns the backcountry and the frontside into your personal playground.
