The Blizzard Zero G 95 Skis have long been the number one name in the game for all-around backcountry touring. The 95mm waist is near perfect in its versatility, handling the full range of conditions found in the backcountry with ease. The solid directional shape borrows heavily from Blizzards exceptional inbounds models, and the carbon layup allows for a ski that is unimaginably light, yet somehow skis beautifully. These skis float up the skin track, helping you store up energy during long missions, and provide a powerful platform that lets you put all that energy to good use on the fun part. Rarely do you come across a ski so well balanced for both the up and down - the Zero G 95s continue to raise the bar.
Rocker Camber Rocker – Ski profile with rocker at the tip and tail, camber in the middle. Reducing the pressure on the edge at the tip and tail makes the ski even easier to handle and increases flotation on powder snow. The camber guarantees great grip on packed snow.
Ultra-Lightweight Paulownia Woodcore
Carbon Drive 2.0 – The integration of a 3D uni-directional carbon fiber frame with an ultra-lightweight paulownia woodcore construction allows Blizzard to reduce the weight in the ski while providing structure for performance. The carbon frame’s 3D geometry guarantees optimal flex and torsional rigidity. The result is a level of stability, edge grip and control unprecedented in the world of ski mountaineering.
Sandwich Compound Sidewall – All Blizzard skis with the exception of some junior skis are built with ABS or Phenol sidewalls for superior performance (stability, power transmission, handling) and durability.
Sintered Graphite Base

Stripped down in terms of adjustability but still able to walk the walk and uphold the Helio 200 name, the Black Diamond Helio 200 LT Alpine Touring Bindings weigh in at just 167 grams each thanks to their aircraft grade aluminum and stainless steel construction. Beyond that, however, the Helio 200 LT Alpine Touring Bindings leverage the same great easy entry system and Monolink 1.0 toe design and CAM RELEASE SYSTEM® heel as their slightly heftier big brother. For the ultralight backcountry traveler who wants ultimate efficiency on the ups without giving up downhill performance, look to the Black Diamond Helio 200 LT.
