Blizzard Zero G 95 Alpine Touring Skis
Details
The Zero G 95 was the ski of choice for ski mountaineers Hilaree Nelson and Jim Morrison to conquer their epic, first descent on the world's highest, biggest line—the Lhotse Couloir on 27,940-foot Lhotse peak in Nepal's Himalayas.
The Zero G 95 gave them the performance they needed to get down safely—not to mention the high-altitude pow turns they scored!
An ultra-lightweight paulownia wood core paired with updated iteration of Blizzard's proven Carbon Drive technology in version 3.0 provides for efficiency on the skin track and a more consistent, stable feel on the descent.
Your backcountry adventure may be closer to home, but you can still reap the benefits of Austrian engineering that delivers the best downhill performance for the weight.

Picking the correct ski size?
There is no one size for one height and weight. The general rule is to pick a ski that is going to land somewhere between your chin and the top of your head. Within your size range there are multiple reasons to choose a shorter or longer ski.
Reasons for Shorter Ski’s, closer to your chin:
- beginner or intermediate skier
- Your weight is lighter than average for your height
- You like to make short, quick turns
Reasons to size your skis longer, closer to the top of your head:
- skiing fast and aggressively
- You weigh more than average for your height
- The majority of your skiing off the trail
- Skis have significant rocker in the tip
A shorter ski will be easier to turn yet not as stable as a longer ski. A carving ski with a skinnier waist and a smaller turn radius can be skied at a shorter length than an all mountain or a freeride ski with larger, longer turn radius and fatter waist width.
