The Black Diamond Helio Carbon 88 is indeed a fantastic backcountry ski designed for big objectives and all-day vert-racking tours through technical terrain.

It’s been redesigned to stay lightweight while still delivering excellent downhill performance. The updated pre-preg carbon fiber layup, combined with a paulownia wood core and full-perimeter ABS sidewalls, provides added dampness, a smooth flex, and torsional stiffness - so you can rely on it for responsive and confident skiing. The early rise in the tip enhances flotation and makes trail-breaking easier, while the ABS tail protector with an integrated skin-clip notch helps keep your skins secure during ascents.

Overall, Black Diamond Helio Carbon 88 is a well-balanced ski for serious backcountry adventures!
