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.

Sure, cutting ten thousand switchbacks up a refrozen sheet of ice is fun, but we all know that the real reason we all ski tour is for the way down. That's not to say you want gear that slouches on uphill performance, but if your boots makes the ski down any less fun, than what's really the point? Luckily, we have access to gear like the K2 Mindbender 120 Alpine Touring Ski Boots. Deigned to be super lightweight, with an effective and intuitive walk mode, these boots are money on the skin track. But the real value here is that when you lock them down, you're riding a full speed alpine freeride boot. They have a stiff flex, they're responsive and bomber, and they inspire confidence on the most aggressive of backcountry descents. For a freeride skier looking for one boot to do it all, the Mindbender 120 is hard to beat.

PrecisionFit Pro Tour – Laceable, pre molded and lasted with Ultralon heat moldable foams. Features an asymmetric tongue, a medium density collar & foam package with a flex notch for increased range of motion while hiking.
PowerLite Shell – The shell is purpose-built to result in the best skiing, lightest weight boots ever produced. Made with four different stiffnesses of TPU and optimized wall thickness profiling, the Powerlite Shell achieves a paradoxical balance of lightweight agility and power. The resulting boots weigh in as some of the lightest alpine and freeride on the market, yet they ski with all the power and drive of heavier boots.
