BLACK DIAMOND HELIO 88 SKI

Quick Overview

Ultralight carbon fibre ski ideal for touring.

The Black Diamond Helio 88 ski is the first carbon-fibre ski that Bogong is selling! Carbon-fibre means it's strong and light. That makes it easy to manoeuvre. Because it's light, it's also fantastic for touring. Its lightness doesn't compromise on performance, because the ski still has side-cut (more narrowing in the waist), which makes turning easier.

The BD Helio 88 ski is the lightest ski in Black Diamond's line. Its pre-preg carbon fibre layup offers drastically reduced weight while maintaining balanced flex and solid edge control.

The Helio’s pre-preg carbon-fibre layup makes it extremely light for long approaches and technical ascents, but helps maintain a smooth flex and torsional stiffness for reliable, responsive skiing on the way down. Early rise in the tip and tail improves flotation and trail-breaking efficiency, and an ABS tail protector also has an integrated skin-clip tab to keep your skins secure.
