What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I've spent long days on the updated Zero G 96, and it's the most confidence-inspiring touring ski I've used. The slightly softer flex makes breakable crust and variable snow way more manageable, and it still feels super light on the skin track. I also appreciate the recycled materials-nice to know it's a little easier on the planet."Long days in the backcountry demand gear that's as committed as we are. The Blizzard Zero G 96 Ski takes everything we loved about the legendary Zero G 95 and makes it even more versatile, approachable, and sustainable. A softer flex profile smooths out rough, unpredictable snow without giving up the edge hold and dependable downhill performance that earned this ski a cult following among dedicated tourers. Under the hood, Blizzard's Trueblend Touring Core 2. 0 pairs ultralight Paulownia and Poplar with a dense Ash insert underfoot for reliable binding retention. The new Carbon/Glass layup trims weight while balancing power and forgiveness, and the Rocker Camber Rocker profile provides a predictable blend of float and grip on everything from powder to windboard. Finished with recycled base and sidewall materials, this ski is a step forward in performance and environmental responsibility. From dawn patrol laps to multi-day traverses, the Zero G 96 stays light on the ascent and steady on the descent-no matter what conditions we find.
