The Blaze Binding Weighs In

So by now everyone has seen the new Blaze binding. Originally we had estimated our new binding weight rolling in at a trim 868 grams. An assured weight savings over last years Fuse, coming in at 980 grams.

Well now we are here to apologize to everyone. In designing the binding, we improved the strength and a number of other features. In doing so, we greatly underestimated the outcome this would have on the binding.

The Blaze now tips the scales at a whopping 798 grams (medium binding).
So please accept our humblest apologies for our gross error previously. We hope everyone is willing to look past this and simply enjoy the best splitboard binding on the market.

September marks the long anticipated release of Storm Shadow’s new ski/snowboard film “Water To Wine.”

Filmed entirely in southwest Montana and featuring some of the area’s most innovative skiers and snowboarders, “Water To Wine” offers a rare glimpse of what these mountains have to offer. Highlights include: Collin Collins sun rise pillow line assault, Tizer DeMers’s and Luke Tanaka’s impressive single session segment shot entirely in one day at Great Divide, Shane Stalling’s all terrain destruction of everything shred, and steep and deep days at Big Sky & Moonlight like you have never seen it before!
