Black Diamond Helio Carbon 88 Ski - 2nds
Helio Carbon 88 Ski - 2nds
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. That skinny waist will ensure you can tackle long tours while remaining in control and nimble throught the most technical terrain the back bowls can throw at you.
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.
These Cosmetic Seconds (2nds) feature minor cosmetic flaws that in no way affect their performance use or safety; typically there is a blemish in the top sheet.
