Blizzard Zero G LT 80 Ski - 2025 Black/Orange, 171cm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I rely on the Zero G LT 80 when the mission is all about covering big ground. At under 2000 grams per ski, it makes long ascents feel easier, but I still feel in control on the way down thanks to the camber underfoot and carbon laminate. It’s not a powder crusher, but for long tours and spring missions, it’s one of the most efficient tools I’ve used.""Who It’s ForDedicated Ski Tourers and Fitness-Oriented Ski Mountaineers:This ski is for backcountry skiers who prioritize uphill efficiency and light weight, whether chasing vertical on dawn patrols or linking big objectives. Best suited for experienced tourers who value speed and control on firm snow. What It’s ForLong Missions and Technical Touring:With its narrow 80mm waist and ultralight build, the Zero G LT 80 is designed for spring conditions, steep terrain, and endurance tours. Camber underfoot ensures edge security on icy traverses, while tip rocker and a raised tail keep descents manageable in mixed snow. Why We Like ItMaximum Efficiency Without Sacrificing Control:We like the Zero G LT 80 because it trims every ounce without feeling flimsy. The paulownia/poplar TrueBlend core keeps weight down while maintaining a damp ride, and the carbon fiber laminate adds torsional rigidity for better grip in variable terrain. For long, demanding days in the backcountry, it helps save energy where it matters most."
