Why We Like The Black Diamond Helio Carbon 88 Ski
Your destination is only limited by the altitude of the mountains around you, so strap on skis built to soar to new heights with Black Diamond’s Helio Carbon 88. These ultralight carbon fiber skis are built for pursuing high alpine adventures and long-distance tours, thanks to a layup that damps vibrations and holds strong when you point things downhill.
