Helio Carbon 95 Ski - 2026

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve taken the Helio Carbon 95 from early morning powder laps to crusty spring missions, and it’s been a reliable partner every time. The lightweight carbon and paulownia core make long approaches easier, while the shape and flex keep turns smooth and responsive on the way down."

We love the way the Black Diamond Helio Carbon 95 Skis handle everything the backcountry throws at us. From big powder days deep in the alpine to variable snow in tight couloirs, these skis deliver a playful yet precise ride that keeps us coming back for more. Their 95mm waist is the perfect sweet spot—wide enough for float when it’s deep, but narrow enough for agile edge-to-edge transitions on firm snow.

The pre-preg carbon fiber layup offers a smooth, damp feel without adding weight, while the engineered paulownia wood core keeps things light for long tours. Early rise in the tip and tail boosts flotation and trail-breaking ease, and ABS sidewalls add stability in chopped-up conditions. The integrated skin-clip tab makes transitions quick and secure, so we can keep moving efficiently in the mountains.
