![]() The line-up also includes 88, 95, and 116mm widths. The Helio 105s get their designation by being 105mm wide underfoot, so you get a whole lotta ski for their diminutive 6-pound weight. But again, this is not their preferred habitat. And given how pronounced their early rise tip is, some chatter is to be expect. The Helio 105s aren’t the snappiest of skis on hardpack or groomers. They’re a pure joy to play with in the backcountry especially on those deep, deep days. The pre-preg carbon fibreglass and reinforced ABS sidewall construction is surprisingly damp for such a lightweight ski. With only a subtle camber underfoot and fat dimensions these are no race skis, and in breakable crust and chop they tend to deflect easily due to said lightness. They will carve just fine on groomers, but they really don’t rail a turn (and they aren’t designed to). And while they don’t possess the pop and fun of a purpose designed resort ski, they do float and surf like nothing else when skiing deep snow. PerformanceĪt 105 underfoot, transitioning the Helios from edge to edge can be a bit slow. Being a pre-preg carbon fibreglass constructed ski with a balsa flax core, the Helio 105s are ultra-light, yet fat-an ideal powder ski. Black Diamond also did away with the metal tail clip found on their other skis, and went with an ABS tail protector notch to secure skins and save on weight. A traditional rocker/camber/rocker design gives the Helios some pop and personality, while maintaining substantially more rocker in the tip of the ski than in the tail. As with all new Black Diamond skis, the Helios are made by Blizzard in Austria (as the Black Diamond factory in Asia is no longer in operation).Įarly rise in the Helio’s tips and tails provides respectable flotation and increases trail-breaking efficiency. The Helio line-up has a softer flex than those in the Link series, and come in 88, 95, 105 and 116 widths. ![]() The Helio 105s are akin to Black Diamond’s Link series of skis, except they’re categorized as a mountaineering ski instead of true backcountry. Use as sender address: Stoutenburg - 3836 - The Netherlands.Black Diamond’s Carbon Aspect, Convert, and Megawatt skis have made way for the new Helio line of skis.
