Blizzard Zero G LT

This ski is purpose-built for backcountry touring. At 980 grams per ski, it is incredibly lightweight for efficiency on long ascents, though its narrow 80mm waist and specialized construction mean it will feel out of place on groomed resort runs.

The 80mm waist is quite narrow by modern standards, which prioritizes climbing efficiency and edge grip on firm, technical terrain over float in deep powder. It is best suited for spring mountaineering, corn snow, or firm backcountry conditions where precision matters more than flotation.

The Zero G LT is for experienced backcountry skiers who prioritize weight savings and technical performance on steep, exposed lines. It is a specialized tool for those who want a reliable, rigid ski for no-fall zones without carrying extra bulk.

While the carbon reinforcement provides excellent torsional stability and edge grip, the ski maintains a forgiving flex in the tips and tails. This balance ensures you get the rigidity needed for technical descents without the ski feeling harsh or unmanageable.

The TrueBlend Tour Woodcore uses a blend of poplar and paulownia to minimize weight while maintaining structural integrity. This combination creates a lively, responsive feel that helps the ski track well through variable backcountry snow.
