Storm Skis dub themselves a new, young and dynamic ski production company that is built upon an ethos of being created and run by skiers for skiers. This is strongly evident in the production of these Women's Blaze on piste skis.

Those women who understand the need for a ladies'ski with all the substance of a man's ski will appreciate the degree of thought put into the build of the Blaze

In the dark old days before carving skis I used to hate and fear slalom racing skis finding their agility and explosive acceleration a nightmare rather than an asset and have stayed clear of them ever since. However in January Eric Davies of Salomon GB sent me some 3v’s and I enjoyed them so I approached the ride on the Inferno with bit more of an open mind.

First impression is they are short! At 90kg I felt certain they would be twitchy and difficult to steer but that was not the case. As soon as I had adapted from my usual lazy, cruising stance to cranking over and working the skis harder than I do normally the Infernos literally sprang into life! They are brilliant fun, be careful though as you too will be tempted to keep looking back behind you to see how clean your tramline tracks are at the end of your turn and end up riding into pylons, mates etc.

Very interesting too was Andy spent some time demonstrating technique on how to get the most out of the Inferno/Blaze and soon had them carving some very clean tracks. However when these skiers went back to their “normal” skis their skiing had been transformed. They were feeling for the carving feel they had achieved with the Inferno and applying pressure on their edges until they found it, skidding most of their turns was a thing of the past.

In conclusion I would say the Inferno has shown me there is life beyond fat twin tips! They are just so much fun. They obviously don’t have such a wide appeal as the Rage as in soft snow I can imagine they won’t be as much fun but as an on piste carving tool, brilliant! If you are an intermediate skier struggling with your carved turns, find a pair, find an instructor and find a whole new world of skiing!

Storm Skis offer two type of bindings - Storm Pro Athlete Binding Series and Storm Pro Free Series. We currently stock both types of binding and where Bindings are bought like this Rage up we will be happy to fix them free of charge.

The Storm Series bindings are identifiable by their lightness and clean lines, without giving up the highest standard of design, safety and performance.

Ramon tested these skis on our March ski trip to Les Arcs (click here to see details for up and coming trips)

Conditions were typical spring snow, hard piste in the morning which gradually softened throughout the day.

First out of Andy’s truck were the Rage for me, I figured I would be on safe ground here as my favourite skis in recent years have ranged from the Trouble Maker to the Punisher and the Rage can certainly hold its head up alongside these benchmarks. I can normally tell if I will like a ski in the short distance it takes to ski from our hotel to the Vallandry lift and we had bonded by the time I arrived there. The Rage felt sure footed and smooth despite the piste being hard and corrugated from the overnight freeze and grooming. It was later in the day that they thrived though when the snow had softened quite a bit. I found it very easy to vary the turn radii and could feel the pop off some small jumps off the side of the piste.

In conclusion I have to say I loved them, my kind of ski through and through and if I was only able to use one ski for a whole week I would be very happy to take the Rage safe in the knowledge that I would enjoy them in every situation and snow condition .
