Freeski, 108 mm Waist
Blizzard Canvas 108 Ski
The Blizzard Canvas 108 is the middle width in the Canvas freeski line and the one that suits most skiers across most winters. A 139-108-127 mm shape with a rockered tip and tail floats soft snow and stays quick in trees, while camber underfoot keeps an edge available when the same run firms up by afternoon. At 1,890 g per ski at 180 cm on poplar and paulownia with no metal in the layup, it is light for its width and built to be thrown around rather than driven.

Is This the Right Ski for You?
Best For
Skiers who want one playful freeski for soft to medium snow, value low weight and quickness, and ski terrain creatively rather than at top speed.
Consider Another Ski If
You want firm-snow grip and damping. Without metal the Canvas gives up composure in chop that the Anomaly line keeps.

Why We Like It
- At 108 mm underfoot with a 139 mm shovel it floats soft snow properly while staying narrow enough to be quick edge to edge.
- A 16 m radius at 168 cm is short for a 108 mm ski, which is what keeps it manoeuvrable in trees rather than only useful on open faces.
- Light Sandwich Full Sidewall over poplar and paulownia holds it to 1,890 g per ski at 180 cm, light for the width and only 90 g over the narrower Canvas 100.
- The length run reaches 192 cm, the longest in the Canvas line, so bigger skiers are not forced onto the 118.
Best Uses
- Soft snow days across the whole mountain
- Trees, pillows and natural features
- One-ski resort quivers in a soft-snow winter
- Skiers who butter and ride switch
Ski Selection Advice
The Canvas 108 runs 168 to 192 cm on a 16 m to 20 m radius, so there is a genuine spread of turn shapes in the size run. Sidecut is quoted at 180 cm. Skiers who want the playful character should size at or below their usual length, and skiers who open it up should take the 186 or 192.
There is no titanal in this ski. In chop it will move around more than an Anomaly of similar width, which is the trade for weight and liveliness. Brakes need to clear the 108 mm waist, so 110 mm is the usual stock size.

Compare the Blizzard Canvas 108
Canvas 108 vs. Blizzard Canvas 100
The Blizzard Canvas 100 is the narrower and quicker ski, 132-100-120 mm at 1,800 g per ski at 180 cm against 1,890 g here, with a 14.5 m radius at its short end. The 100 works better on a firm week and the 108 is the better soft-snow ski.

Canvas 108 vs. Blizzard Canvas 118
The Blizzard Canvas 118 is the powder ski of the line, 145-118-134 mm at 1,920 g per ski at 180 cm and only three lengths. The 108 is the ski that stays useful all season; the 118 is the one to add for deep days.

Canvas 108 vs. Blizzard Anomaly 102
The Blizzard Anomaly 102 runs two sheets of titanal on a Trueblend core, so it damps chop and grips firm snow harder while being heavier and more demanding. The Canvas 108 is wider, lighter and more playful. Firm-snow skiers take the Anomaly.

Common Questions
Who should buy the Blizzard Canvas 108?
The Blizzard Canvas 108 suits skiers who want one light, playful freeski for soft to medium snow. A 139-108-127 mm shape floats and pivots, camber underfoot keeps an edge on firm afternoon snow, and a 16 m radius at 168 cm is short for the width. At 1,890 g per ski at 180 cm it is light for a 108 mm ski.
What bindings work with the Blizzard Canvas 108?
The Blizzard Canvas 108 ships flat and accepts any alpine binding rated for the skier’s weight, height and ability. The 108 mm waist needs a brake of 110 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 108 weigh?
1,890 g per ski at 180 cm. Blizzard’s catalog prints the flat weight without stating a reference length, which is why published figures for Canvas skis vary. We take the reference from the length Blizzard uses for its own sidecut figure, 180 cm, which is consistent with how the rest of the Blizzard line reads on our pages.
Does the Canvas 108 have metal in it?
No. It is Light Sandwich Full Sidewall over a poplar and paulownia woodcore with no titanal. The line trades the damping of a metal laminate for lower weight and a livelier feel. Skiers who want metal should look at the Anomaly family.
How is the Canvas different from the Anomaly?
Construction and intent. The Anomaly line uses two sheets of titanal in a segmented FluxForm layup over a length-specific Trueblend core, built for firm snow and speed. The Canvas line uses Light Sandwich Full Sidewall over poplar and paulownia with no metal, built light and playful.
What length Blizzard Canvas 108 should I ski?
Radius runs 16 m at 168 cm to 20 m at 192 cm, so length changes turn shape as much as surface area. Skiers who want the playful feel should size at or under their usual length; the 186 and 192 are for skiers who ski open terrain fast.
Is the Canvas 108 enough ski for powder?
For most days, yes. A 108 mm waist with a 139 mm shovel floats well, and the rockered tip and tail help in deep snow. Skiers whose priority is genuinely deep days should look at the Canvas 118 instead.
Our Verdict
The Blizzard Canvas 108 is the width most skiers should look at first in this line. A 139-108-127 mm shape floats soft snow, a 16 m radius at the short end keeps it quick in trees, and camber underfoot means it still works when the snow firms up. At 1,890 g per ski at 180 cm it is light for a 108 mm ski, and the length run to 192 cm covers bigger skiers. The cost is metal: without titanal it moves around in chop more than an Anomaly does, which is exactly what makes it fun everywhere else.
