Product Summary
The ski in details
At 85mm underfoot, the Zero G 85 is your weapon of choice for long days on the skin track and early morning uphill workouts alike.
While remaining narrow and light for crushing vert, Blizzard’s proven Carbon Drive technology provides for a more consistent, stable feel on the descent. The touring ski achieves both its lightness and stability thanks to Carbon Drive 3.0 technology. The carbon structure provides torsional rigidity and optimum flex, which is why the lightweight ski also impresses with its downhill quality. Blizzard has installed two carbon reinforcements in the binding area for better power transmission and more safety. The Uphiller in the Zero G collection has a centre width of 85 mm. Its forgiving nature and smooth running at high speeds make it a versatile ski.

TOURING CONSTRUCTION
This Trueblend Tour woodcore uses a specific blend of woods to deliver perfect flex for touring requirements. Paulownia offers an unbeatable strength-to-weight ratio, while poplar gives high energy performance without sacrificing durability.
CARBON REINFORCEMENT
The Carbon Drive 3.0 is empowered by two underfoot carbon reinforcements.
The carbon reinforcements are two edge-to-edge layers of bi-direction carbon fiber placed in the binding mounting areas, in order to provide:
- IMPROVED EDGE GRIP
- ENHANCED POWER TRANSMISSION
CARBON DRIVE 3.0
The Carbon Drive 3.0 is the technology upgrade of the Carbon Drive 2.0 technology: a full length 3D shaped unidirectional carbon fiber chassis running through the entire length of the ski, combined with an ultra-light pawlonia woodcore or ISO/BEECH/POPPLAR core: this combination guarantees a super lite construction keeping the necessary structure for performance.
Ensures optimal torsional rigidity and flex, placing the carbon in those area where it is really needed.
CARBON DRIVE 2.0 VS CARBON DRIVE 3.0
The new Carbon Drive has been placed below the fiberglass + carbon layer. Review of the carbon chassis shape to provide less rigidity in tip and tails.
