Black Diamond HELIO CARBON 95 SKI is a mid-sized carbon ski. It is built to slay backcountry turns from the Cordillera Blanca to the Canadian Rockies. The Black Diamond HELIO CARBON 95 balances playful, soft-snow performance with precision. The HELIO 95’s pre-preg carbon fiber layup and full-perimeter ABS sidewalls have improved dampness for a smoother ride, while the engineered paulownia core keeps the ski light for long tours. The HELIO 95 also maintains a smooth flex and torsional stiffness for reliable, responsive skiing on the way down. Early rise in the tip and tail improves flotation and trail-breaking efficiency, and an ABS tail protector also has an integrated skin-clip tab to keep your skis secure.
