Blizzard Zero G 95 Skis 2022
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.
Product Details
Rocker Type
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.
Core
Ultra-Lightweight Paulownia Woodcore
Laminates
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.
Sidewalls
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.
Base
Sintered Graphite Base
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain
Alpine Touring Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Tail Type:
Flat

Tail Type
Flat This is your traditional tail, designed to have edge contact all the way through the tail, and only designed for skiing forward. This is also preferred for alpine touring, as you can stick the tails of your skis in the snow.

Black Diamond Helio 145 Alpine Touring Bindings 2022
The Black Diamond Helio 145 Alpine Touring Bindings were built for backcountry skiers looking for an ultralight that can still handle big lines. A high-performance yet incredibly simple touring binding available in three different fixed release values (6, 8, or 10), the Helio 145's redesigned toe piece utilizes new geometry for easier and more consistent step-in action, plus a new lever design with a seat for pole tip stabilization for easier releases too. Weighing in at a measly 145 grams per binding, the Black Diamond Helio 145 Alpine Touring Bindings far outpunch their weight class.
