Black Diamond Helio Carbon 95 Ski - 2025

Why We Like The Helio Carbon 95 Ski

The Helio Carbon collection of backcountry skis consists of Black Diamond´s lightest planks for alpine touring, and the Helio Carbon 95 Ski is the most versatile option we go for when it comes to skiing soft and hard snow. A 95mm waist places this ski in the middle of the Helio Carbon collection.

Its optimal balance in powder and firmer snow is further complemented by the camber underfoot and early rise rocker that initiates solid edge control down icy couloirs, and then surfs in deep pow. The Helio Carbon is made of light paulownia wood and a pre-preg carbon layup for increased stiffness at the lowest weight possible.
