Blizzard somehow continues to balance race room heritage, all-mountain performance, and freeride fun all in one. From badass touring equipment that enables longer days in the mountains, to hard-charging big-mountain and carving skis alike. After relaunching their all-mountain directional series last year with Anomaly and Black Pearl, this year they’re turning to some of the other skis in their collection that you may not always think of. We dive into all the updates in our Blizzard skis 2026 preview.

A classic gets an update from Blizzard this year—the Zero G fam. Not the boots, but the skis. Blizzard’s taking the moniker “wood is good” to heart, with a new Trueblend woodcore and an ash wood insert for binding retention. That gives better control and torsional rigidity, without a big weight penalty. They’ve also tweaked the sidecut, with a 5 Radius sidecut that balances easy turning up front and at the rear, while being confidence-inspiring underfoot.

You’ll find a Zero G 105, Zero G 96, and Zero G 88. There’s a women’s version available for the 96 W and 88 W, that are around ~10% less stiff than the men’s version.

Blizzard also turns to some narrower models for updates, including the Thunderbird series and new Stormbird skis.
