Overview
The Blizzard Stormbird 80 TI + TP11 Light Demo is a frontside package for skiers who want supportive carving without a demanding race-style setup. Despite the model name, Blizzard publishes an 82 mm waist for this exact SKU. The four lengths from 165 to 180 cm span 13–16 metre radii, favoring short and medium turns. The TP11 Light Demo binding is included.
A Ti Glass Sandwich construction and Trueblend Piste woodcore provide metal support and a flex tuned along the ski. That combination favors a damp, planted feel when the edge is loaded. Two millimetres of early tip rise soften turn entry, while the camber-biased profile and partial ABS sidewalls keep useful contact on groomers. It is a more directional, edge-focused shape than a rockered freeride ski, with less room to smear a turn casually.
Choose it for an intermediate through expert skier who spends most days on prepared runs and enjoys building pressure through a carve. The 2027 SkiEssentials test describes accessible grip and damping, with some useful handling in bumps and shallow fresh snow. Deep snow and a loose, surfy style are less natural fits. Strong skiers seeking maximum support at speed may prefer a more substantial double-metal carver; those wanting effortless drifting may favor a softer, more rockered design.
Construction & features
What the Stormbird 80 TI + TP11 Light Demo is built from, and what that means on snow.
- 01
Trueblend Piste woodcore
A piste-tuned woodcore varies support through the ski so it stays stable underfoot while remaining approachable at turn entry.
- 02
Ti Glass Sandwich
Titanal glass reinforcement damps vibration and keeps the edge connected when the skier increases pressure on hard snow.
- 03
2 mm early rise tip
A small early-rise tip reduces hook-up and helps the ski enter a turn or move through shallow bumps.
- 04
TP11 Light Demo binding
The included TP11 Light Demo is an adjustable resort binding package and adds less system weight than a heavier race binding.
- 05
82 mm platform
The relatively narrow waist transitions quickly and is most at home on groomers, packed bumps and firm frontside snow.
