Black Diamond Helio 76 (2018-2019)

Ultra Lightweight Skimo The Black Diamond Helio 76 is a featherweight carbon fiber ski built for technical ski mountaineering and high-speed ascents. Its 76mm waist excels on firm snow and steep, icy terrain, offering exceptional edge grip when things get dicey. By combining a balsa-flax wood core with a carbon layup, it stays incredibly light for the skin track without sacrificing downhill stiffness. Integrated ABS sidewalls help dampen the "chatter" often found in ultralight skis, making for a smoother ride on hardpack. It’s the ideal tool for the weight-conscious alpine minimalist who prioritizes uphill efficiency and precision in the high peaks.  Product Details:  Ultralight Balsa Flax wood core  Narrow 76mm waist for technical precision Does not come with skins
