The Black Diamond Helio Carbon 104 sits right in the middle of the Helio line up, which are dedicated to ski touring for the skier who wants to go light and fast up, through and down the mountains.  At 104-millimetres under the boot, you certainly have enough width to surf and float through the deepest powder and soft snow, but still have enough heft to ski through variable conditions that often encountered in the backcountry.  The Helio 104 features a pre-preg carbon fiber layup with full-perimeter ABS sidewalls for improved dampness and a smooth ride, while the engineered paulownia wood core keeps it lightweight for big vert days in the backcountry. The Helio also maintains 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 from sliding off when putting in multiple laps.  For skiers who want to push farther and deeper in the mountains then ever before, the Black Diamond Helio Carbon 104 skis will take you there faster than you ever imagined possible.
