The Black Diamond Helio Carbon 88 (2026) is a high-performance, lightweight touring ski engineered for fast ascents and confident descents. At an agile 88 mm waist, the Helio Carbon 88 strikes a precise balance between edge hold on firm, wind-packed snow and enough flotation for variable spring and mid-winter conditions. Built with a carbon-reinforced layup, this ski delivers exceptional torsional stiffness without the weight penalty of metal—so you get lively energy transfer and precise carving on groomers and hardpack while keeping uphill efficiency top of mind.
Designed for alpine touring and backcountry riders who demand speed on the skintrack and control on the descent, the Helio Carbon 88 is optimized for use with tech bindings. A stepped rocker-tip and slight tail rocker combine with traditional camber underfoot to make initiating turns effortless, increase maneuverability in choppy or variable snow, and maintain reliable edge bite on steep, firm terrain. The construction emphasizes a responsive feel: quick edge-to-edge transitions, stable tracking at higher speeds, and playful responsiveness for tight trees and mixed lines.
Durability and practicality are also considered—robust topsheet materials and reinforced contact points stand up to repeated crampon and binding use, while the lightweight core reduces fatigue over long tours. Available in four lengths (152, 161, 170, 179 cm), the Helio Carbon 88 adapts to different skier weights and preferred riding styles, from nimble skimo-style laps to longer, more stable descents.
Whether you race up skintracks, explore remote lines, or sharpen your all-mountain touring quiver, the Black Diamond Helio Carbon 88 (2026) is a versatile, performance-driven choice. It’s aimed at experienced touring skiers who want a ski that accelerates the climb without sacrificing precision, edge hold, or confidence on varied descents—making every outing faster, lighter, and more enjoyable.
