The Black Diamond Helio Carbon 95 sits right smack dab in the middle of the Black Diamonds lightest planks alpine touring line up.  And at 95 millimeters in waist width, tis the most versatile ski in the  line up too. Many experts consider 95-100 millimeters underfoot to be the ideal width for a wide variety of snow conditions and terrain and the Helio Carbon 95 lives up to that statement.  Its optimal balance in powder and firmer snow is further complemented by the camber underfoot and early rise rocker that initiate solid edge control down icy couloirs, and then surfs in deep pow. The Helio Carbon is made of light paulownia wood and a pre-preg carbon layup for increased stiffness at the lowest weight possible.  And at 1389 grams per ski, we are talking about a weight that rivals some of the lightest touring skis on the market today. For short and long tours and every condition and terrain imaginable that you encounter on a daily basis on snow in the backcountry, the Black Diamond Helio Carbon 95 will become your everyday work horse for both east and west coasts.
