EDUCATION
PERFECT BALANCED FLEX
Trueblend is Blizzard’s foundational woodcore technology which allows us to specifically design every model and size for the target customer.
Thanks to the Trueblend WoodCore technology we are able to control the flex precisely through the whole length of the ski, maintaining the desidered behaviour the same for all sizes.
We select specific woods, characterized by different densities, blending and positioning them to form WoodCores that are designed to optimize the flex of and deliver a smooth and balanced feeling. This technology also allows Blizzard to build skis that pack a tremendous amount of performance but that are not hard to ski. Each product family has a distinct Trueblend in order to optimize the right performance, control, and confidence.

PERFORMANCE
At the heart of every ski is a specifically designed woodcore, fine–tuned to deliver the optimal flex and maximum performance per category. The construction surrounding the woodcore is also specific to each category, designed to complement the woodcore and provide the best skiing experience for every type of skier in every discipline.
C.A.S. CUSTOM ADAPTIVE SHAPE
C.A.S. has revolutionized ski boots with regards to fit and personalization. The liners are anatomically shaped for optimal comfort and offer great heel hold. The internal part of the liner is shaped to match the foot while the exterior matches and conforms to the shape of the shell. The dual density micro-cell material is durable and easy to customize. The C.A.S. liners are less prone to pack-out maintaining the fit over a longer period of time.
LINER FEATURES
• Anatomic and precise shape
Dual density pre-shaped thermoformed microcell material
• Great out-of-the box fit
• Enhanced sensitivity
LINER CUSTOMIZATION
• FLOATING TONGUE
To adjust instep area
• THERMO-SHAPING
Liner in the oven: 80°C – 176°F / 6 minutes.
• PUNCHING (INCREASE VOLUME)
Microcell material can be heated and punched in problem fit areas.
• GRINDING (INCREASE VOLUME)
Microcell material is easily grindable up to 2 mm in problem fit areas.
• FIT KIT (DECREASE VOLUME)
Glue the C.A.S. Fit Kit pre-shaped pieces to decrease the volume of the liner.
C.A.S. SHELL
The C.A.S. Shell has an anatomical shape that matches the shape of the foot. This allows for a better out-of-the box initial fit. The dimples on the shell offer less surface tension and facilitate heating, making customizing the shell easier. The shell retains the new shape better and longer.
SHELL FEATURES
• Anatomic and precise shape
• Easier and faster thermo-forming
• Easy customization
SHELL CUSTOMIZATION
• PUNCHING (INCREASE VOLUME)
• GRINDING (INCREASE VOLUME)
C.A.S. LINER
GREAT FIT OUT OF THE BOX
The anatomical shape of the liner and shell are the key to a great out-of-the-box fit.
The closer the liner and shell match the natural shape of the foot, the better the fit and performance will be.
VOLUME CONCEPT
Best fit out-of-the box. Precise anatomical shape results in an accurate fit that offers more comfort and better performance.
To guarantee the perfect fit matching every foot shape Tecnica offers 5 different volumes:
• LOW VOLUME: 98 mm
MID VOLUME FREERIDE: 99 mm
• MID VOLUME: 100 mm
• HIGH VOLUME FREERIDE: 102 mm
• HIGH VOLUME: 103 mm
T-POWER
T-DRIVE ON MACH1 SERIES
DRIVE PRECISION
The T-Drive dynamic carbon connector creates a longer lever arm compared to traditional ski boots.
This allows:
• Quicker edge to edge transitions.
• Increased lateral power and stability. Edge drive precision.
PERFORMANCE EFFICIENCY
The T-Drive technology creates a stronger and more effective connection between the cuff and the shell, that supports the boot flex and avoids plastic deformation. This means reduced energy dissipation and a more efficient power transmission.
ENHANCED COMFORT
Comfort comes from many places in the new Mach1 MV.
The T-Drive technology provides a progressive flex regardless of temperatures, keeping the shape unchanged and a more consistent fit. The T-Drive support also allows the use of softer plastics, without compromising performances but making the boots easier to get on and off.
T-RIDE ON COCHISE SERIES
HIGH PERFORMANCE WALKING SYSTEM
The T-Ride system is fully integrated into the boot design. It’s a solid cuff-to-shell connection which delivers the perfect combination between downhill performance and uphill hiking ability.
T-HIKE ON ZERO G SERIES
WHERE WALKABILITY MATCHES DOWNHILL PERFORMANCE
The T-Hike available on Zero G Peak and Zero G Tour features the unique Double Blocking Mechanism. It offers strong, progressive fl ex and great lateral power transmission. The shell is connected to the cuff at two separate points, and once in hiking mode it guarantees unrestricted walkability. In addition, the internal spoiler delivers unique solidity to the boot on downhill.
GIVE YOUR OLD SKI BOOTS A SECOND LIFE
PLASTIC WASTE IS A PROBLEM
Recycle Your Boots was born from the consciousness that our society globally is producing an enormous quantity of waste. And that plastic has become a big problem for our planet, literally as big as a continent.
When old ski boots reach the end of their usable life, they often end up in a dump or are burned in waste-to-energy plants. We want to make it possible for anyone to return their old boots, from any brand. Tecnica will recycle the old pair completely, in a transparent and sustainable process.
Tecnica is launching the Recycle Your Boots campaign to make a circular economy the new business model for the ski industry. The collecting and recycling initiative has been adopted by the LIFE programme – the EU’s funding instrument for the environment and climate action – and will be effective across eight european countries as early as this winter season.
“WE ARE AT THE BEGINNING OF A NEW WAY OF CONCEIVING THE SKIBOOT LIFE CYCLE. RECYCLE YOUR BOOTS IS NOT THE FINAL ANSWER, NOT YET, BUT IT IS A SITE OF CONSTANT INNOVATION.”
