Freeski, 100 mm Waist
Blizzard Canvas 100 Ski
The Blizzard Canvas 100 is the narrowest and quickest ski in the Canvas freeski line, built for skiers who want a centred, playful ski for the whole mountain rather than a metal-laminate carver. A 132-100-120 mm shape on a 14.5 m radius at 162 cm pivots and butters where a stiffer ski would want to be driven, and camber underfoot keeps it honest on a firm groomer. At 1,800 g per ski at 180 cm on a poplar and paulownia core with no metal in the layup, it is the lightest of the three Canvas widths and the easiest to move around.

Is This the Right Ski for You?
Best For
Skiers who want a light, playful freeski for the whole mountain, favour quickness and creativity over top-end stability, and ski mostly soft to medium snow.
Consider Another Ski If
You ski fast on firm snow or want damping from metal. The Canvas has no titanal, so the Anomaly line is the better answer for hardpack.

Why We Like It
- A 14.5 m radius at 162 cm rising to 18.5 m at 186 cm is genuinely short for a 100 mm ski, which is what makes it quick edge to edge in trees and bumps.
- Light Sandwich Full Sidewall over poplar and paulownia keeps it to 1,800 g per ski at 180 cm, the lightest Canvas, and light enough to throw around all day.
- Rockered tip and tail with camber underfoot means it will butter and ride switch without giving up edge hold on a groomer.
- It is the narrowest Canvas at 100 mm underfoot, which makes it the one that works on a firm week rather than only on a storm cycle.
Best Uses
- Playful all-mountain resort skiing
- Trees, bumps and side hits
- Soft and medium snow across the whole mountain
- Skiers who ride switch and butter
Ski Selection Advice
The Canvas 100 runs 162 to 186 cm and the radius changes with it, from 14.5 m to 18.5 m, so length choice changes turn shape rather than only surface area. Skiers who spin and ski switch should size down; skiers who open it up on groomers should size up. Sidecut is quoted at 180 cm and the shape scales across the run.
There is no metal in this ski, so it will not damp chop the way the Anomaly line does. That is the trade for the weight and the quickness. Brakes need to clear the 100 mm waist, which means 100 mm minimum and usually a 105 mm stock brake.

Compare the Blizzard Canvas 100
Canvas 100 vs. Blizzard Canvas 108
The Blizzard Canvas 108 is the middle width, 139-108-127 mm at 1,890 g per ski at 180 cm against 1,800 g here, with a 16 m to 20 m radius range. The 100 is the quicker ski for a mixed week and the 108 is the one to take on a soft-snow day.

Canvas 100 vs. Blizzard Anomaly 102
Different construction rather than different width. The Blizzard Anomaly 102 runs two sheets of titanal in a segmented FluxForm layup on a Trueblend core, which damps chop and holds firm snow harder. The Canvas 100 has no metal and returns that as weight and quickness. Skiers who charge take the Anomaly.

Canvas 100 vs. Blizzard Black Pearl 88
The Blizzard Black Pearl 88 is the narrower, firmer-snow ski with metal in the layup, built for groomers and variable snow. The Canvas 100 is wider, lighter and more playful. Snow conditions across a typical week usually decide between them.

Common Questions
Who should buy the Blizzard Canvas 100?
The Blizzard Canvas 100 suits skiers who want a light, playful freeski that works across the whole mountain. A 132-100-120 mm shape on a 14.5 m radius at 162 cm is quick to pivot, and camber underfoot keeps an edge on groomers. At 1,800 g per ski at 180 cm with no metal in the layup it is the lightest of the three Canvas widths.
What bindings work with the Blizzard Canvas 100?
The Blizzard Canvas 100 ships flat and accepts any alpine binding rated for the skier’s weight, height and ability. The 100 mm waist needs a brake of 100 mm or wider, and brakes come with the binding rather than the ski. This is an alpine ski with no tech fittings and no skin attachment, so pin bindings are not an option.
How much does the Blizzard Canvas 100 weigh?
1,800 g per ski at 180 cm. Blizzard’s catalog prints the flat weight without stating a reference length, which is why quotes for Canvas skis differ by a couple of hundred g depending on which size the seller had in hand. We take the reference from the length Blizzard uses for its own sidecut figure, 180 cm, which is how the rest of the Blizzard line reads on our pages.
Does the Canvas 100 have metal in it?
No. Construction is Light Sandwich Full Sidewall over a poplar and paulownia woodcore, with no titanal. That is the whole point of the line: it trades the damping of a metal laminate for lower weight and a livelier, more playful feel. Skiers who want metal should look at the Anomaly or Black Pearl families.
How is the Canvas different from the Anomaly?
Construction and intent. The Anomaly line runs two sheets of titanal in a segmented FluxForm layup on a Trueblend length-specific core, built for firm snow and speed. The Canvas line uses Light Sandwich Full Sidewall over poplar and paulownia with no metal, built to be light and playful. Same brand, opposite answers.
What length Blizzard Canvas 100 should I ski?
Size by style and terrain rather than height alone. Radius runs 14.5 m at 162 cm to 18.5 m at 186 cm, so the short lengths are quick in tight terrain and the long ones hold a bigger turn. Skiers who ride switch should size down.
Is the Canvas 100 a powder ski?
Not really, and it is the wrong Canvas for that. A 100 mm waist with a 132 mm shovel floats soft snow but the Canvas 108 and 118 exist for deep days. The 100 is the one that stays useful when the snow firms up.
Our Verdict
The Blizzard Canvas 100 is the quickest and most versatile ski in a line built to be light and playful rather than damp and fast. A 132-100-120 mm shape on a 14.5 m radius at the short end pivots easily, camber underfoot keeps it usable on groomers, and at 1,800 g per ski at 180 cm it is the lightest of the three. What it gives up is metal: there is no titanal here, so it will not settle chop the way an Anomaly does. For skiers who ski terrain creatively rather than fast, that is the right trade.
