Black Diamond

Helio Carbon 115 2023

Go ahead and book that guided trip to Hokkaido, and don't forget about your skis. Deep and light snow with nightly refills calls for a touring ski you don't often have a need for in other climates, and the Black Diamond Helio Carbon 115 Skis are one of the best options out there for a stick over 110mm wide that isn't an anchor on the skintrack. The guys at the factory in Mittersill probably laugh at anything over 90mm with a skin-clip slot in the tail, but be assured it's a thing, not just in Japan but anywhere in the western half of North America that gets the goods.
