Backcountry Skis

For too long, backcountry skiers have been stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to the their skis: To compromise on downhill performance for the sake of uphill efficiency, or to haul hundreds of extra grams underfoot to have a ski they feel confident on. The Zero G 105 solves this quandary by bringing Blizzard's 77 years of experience building ripping skis to the backcountry touring stage. Powered by an ultra-lightweight paulownia wood core paired with an updated iteration of Blizzard's proven Carbon Drive technology in version 3.0, the Zero G 105 feels just as at home on the skin track as it does attacking the fall line. So go ahead and earn those turns, and have some damn fun while you're at it.

The Zero G 95 was the ski of choice for ski mountaineers Hilaree Nelson and Jim Morrison to conquer their epic, first descent on the world's highest, biggest line—the Lhotse Couloir on 27,940-foot Lhotse peak in Nepal's Himalayas. The Zero G 95 gave them the performance they needed to get down safely—not to mention the high-altitude pow turns they scored! An ultra-lightweight paulownia wood core paired with updated iteration of Blizzard's proven Carbon Drive technology in version 3.0 provides for efficiency on the skin track and a more consistent, stable feel on the descent. Your backcountry adventure may be closer to home, but you can still reap the benefits of Austrian engineering that delivers the best downhill performance for the weight.
