Helio 76 Carbon Ski

NEW for 2018

Black Diamond Equipment's lightest carbon fiber ski designed for ski mountaineering and high altitude descents, the Helio 76 features a pre-preg carbon fiber layup that’s damp yet responsive, with the torsional stiffness and balanced flex required for precise edge control on high-speed descents.

The lightest and narrowest ski in our line designed for ski mountaineering, fitness laps or high altitude descents, the Helio 76 is built for speed, both uphill and downhill. Featuring a pre-preg carbon fiber layup and ABS sidewalls that are damp for a smooth ride, yet still responsive, the ski maintains a smooth flex and torsional stiffness for precise skiing on the way down. The ABS tail protector also has an integrated skin-clip tab to keep your skins secure when gunning for the summit. The tip is notched to allow for a variety of lightweight skin attachment methods.
