Blizzard Zero G 85 W (Backcountry Touring Ski 2023/2024)

Product Summary

Due to its lighweight construction the Blizzard Zero G 85 W is easy to handle not only downhill but also during longer ascents. The Blizzard Zero G 85 W's full retail price is €700. The Ski costs roughly €90 more than the average price of all Backcountry Touring Skis, making it an upper mid-range model. This ski is just right for good skiers. Stable but not overpowering. The Backcountry Touring Ski prefers perfectly groomed runs over fresh powder. However due to its medium-width waist, this ski is also a good shout for riders who like to venture off piste from time to time. The ski is available from 150 to 178cm.

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, an updated iteration of Blizzard’s proven Carbon Drive technology in version 3.0 provides for a more consistent, stable feel on the descent. So whether you’re high in the alpine chasing consequential lines or just trying to stay fit and have fun, you can count on the Zero G 85 to rise to every occasion, just as you do.
