Black Diamond Skis > The Black Diamond Helio Carbon 95 Skis are up for anything, whether it's carving hardpack on the daily dawn patrol, munching crud for your midday meal, or slashing fresh powder stacks where they lie. Pre-preg carbon fiber over a paulownia wood core makes these skis lightweight and super tough, ideal for all types of backcountry excursions. Early rise tip and tail gives you great trail-breaking ability on the up and smooth float on the down. If you're looking for a do-it-all backcountry ski, take a good long look at the Helio Carbon 95s. Pre-Preg Carbon A blend of High-strength carbon fiber oriented along multiple axes combined with strategic amounts of high-strength E-Glass for toughness and damping, this layup is optimized for efficiency without giving up downhill performance. Toughened epoxy resin is added in precise quantities prior to ski manufacturing to ensure precise weight and consistent quality. This layup is ideal for any backcountry mission. PTEX 4500 Base Industry-accepted as the premium base material, this sintered UHMW-PE base provides very high density for excellent durability and wax retention, combined with high carbon content for superior glide. Engineered Paulownia Core Paulownia wood is the material of choice when light weight is required, but compromising downhill performance is not an option. The stiffness and weight properties of paulownia wood make it the go-to material when using carbon fiber layups. Its slightly softer longitudinal stiffness allows for the use of stiffer carbon composites without compromising the flex profile of the ski. It has good compressive and shear properties, which allow for remarkably smooth and chatter-free ski performance at very low weight. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. ABS Tail Protector - Black Diamond Helio 95 Skis 2022 - 176
