Blade Optic 96 Ski - 2024

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Blade Optic 96 has become my everyday charger—it grips confidently on firm snow, feels stable when I’m pushing speed, and still has enough play to keep things fun. The metal reinforcement really smooths out variable terrain, so I never feel like I’m getting bounced around."

Who It’s For

Advanced All-Mountain Skiers Who Crave Speed and Stability:

This ski is designed for riders who love high-speed carving and aggressive skiing across the resort. Perfect for advanced to expert skiers who want a ski that feels powerful on-piste but versatile enough to handle chopped-up snow and moderate powder.

What It’s For

Hardpack, Mixed Conditions, and Big Resort Laps:

With a 96mm waist and Gas Pedal Metal Overdrive, the Blade Optic 96 excels at railing corduroy, blasting through crud, and powering down variable terrain. Its rocker/camber/rocker profile and intuitive 5Cut Multi-Radius sidecut make it quick to initiate while staying stable at speed.

Why We Like It

Power, Grip, and Smooth Stability:

We like how the Blade Optic 96 feels like a precision tool with a fun side. The titanal reinforcement delivers confidence and dampness when the terrain gets rough, while the aspen veneer core keeps it light and energetic. It’s a ski that rewards aggressive skiing without wearing us down.
