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 full- perimeter 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.

What I Want

"I'm skiing the Helio88 (S/Lab Shift2 13 binding) in varied New England touring. They are great so far! Light enough for uphill, and handle mixed powder, firm ice, and everything in between. They are narrow (88 duh) so they are quick edge to edge on firm surfaces, and have enough torsional stiffness to hold an edge on ice. Not suitable for deep PowPow, but we rarely need that where I am touring. They ski similar to my Volkl Blaze 88 (set up for on-piste) but are lighter and more rigid when initiating turns at speed. I'm enjoying them. Thanks BD for another great product. The pics I have are from binding mount day and a skin up. I wish I had something skiing down to share!"

Badass lightweight skis

"I love the helios, so I keep buying them! First time on the 88s and I dig them. They’ll get you to the top without sweating, and their downhill performance is stellar for the weight. Mounted ATK trofeos on them."
