Built around an engineered Paulownia wood core with a pre-preg Carbon layup, the Black Diamond Helio Carbon 95 Skis balance long-haul lightness with plenty of guts and stiffness to get you down in style. The 95mm waist is a great choice for those who mix full winter touring with spring and summer missions and extended traverses, and the early rise tip rocker provides a surprising level of float in variable snow conditions.
