The Black Diamond Helio Carbon 95 is a medium-width ski designed for technically demanding descents in the backcountry. It offers a balanced combination of playful performance and precision in soft snow. The prepreg carbon construction and the surrounding ABS sidewalls of the Helio 95 enhance damping for a smoother ride, while the Paulownia wood core reduces weight for long tours. The balanced flex and torsional stiffness of the Helio 95 ensure reliable and responsive handling during descents. The early rise in the tip and tail improves floatation and facilitates ascents. The ABS tail protector features an integrated notch for ski skin clips to prevent the skins from sliding off. Versatile 95 mm underfoot with early rise in the tip and tail. Prepreg carbon construction for improved damping, torsional stiffness, and balanced flex. Paulownia wood core. Fully beveled 5-mm ABS sidewalls. ABS tail protector with integrated notch for ski skin clips. Titanium binding mounting plate. Optimal usage range: 50% soft snow, 50% hard snow. Handmade in Austria.
