The key to the Blizzard Zero G 105 2020 is its three-dimensional, unidirectional carbon fiber frame, which offers incredible rigidity across the ski and a stiff flex to complement the lightweight paulownia wood core. Two edge-to-edge layers of carbon fiber in the binding area further ups that stiff, powerful character that Blizzard skis are known for. The tip and tail rocker does allow it to be playful and forgiving, equaling, overall, an incredibly well-rounded touring ski.

FREESKIER tester thoughts: “Very light on the hike, but still stiff enough to power through crud on the down.”

“This is a well-made ski, it can do everything. It definitely wants to be driven versus being playful.”
