Black Diamond Helio Carbon 88 Skis
The perfect backcountry ski for dawn patrol missions or all-day vert-racking tours through technical terrain, the Black Diamond Helio 88 shaves grams while improving the ski’s downhill capabilities.
The Helio’s pre-preg carbon fiber layup is combined with an engineered paulownia wood core and fullperimeter ABS sidewalls for added dampness, while maintaining a smooth flex and torsional stiffness for reliable, responsive skiing on the way down. Early rise in the tip improves flotation and trail-breaking efficiency, and an ABS tail protector also has an integrated skin-clip tab to keep your skins secure.

• Pre-preg carbon fiber layup offers improved dampness, torsional stiffness and balanced flex
• Engineered paulownia wood core
• Full-perimeter 5 mm beveled ABS sidewalls
• ABS tail protector with integrated skin-clip tab
• Titanal binding mounting plate
• Optimal use: 30% soft snow, 70% hard snow
• Handmade in Austria
