Redesigned with a brand-new shape, it balances playful, pow-skiing performance with a lightweight build that handles well in variable conditions and technical terrain.

A rockered tip and tail are made to slash turns, while a slightly heavier construction reduces chatter. The Helio Carbon 102 is a hard-charging powder ski for year-round, backcountry performance.

AI FAQs
AI generated FAQs about the Helio Carbon 102 Skis
Will these skis feel stable under my feet all day, or do my feet get tired?
The pre-preg carbon fiber layup, poplar core, full-perimeter ABS sidewalls, and slightly heavier construction create a damp, smooth, planted ride. This build is intended to reduce chatter and stay composed in variable snow and technical backcountry terrain.
Do these skis turn easily, or do they require a lot of force?
The early-rise rockered tip and tail are built to slash turns, and the poplar core keeps the ski playful and flowy. This shape supports quick, playful direction changes in powder and variable backcountry snow.
Will these skis handle the speed I want to ski at without feeling out of control?
The Helio Carbon 102 is built as a hard-charging backcountry ski, with a carbon layup for torsional stiffness and a slightly heavier construction that reduces chatter. In field testing, it skied with ease at speed across firm snow, sastrugi, shallow powder, and crusted powder.
Are these skis built for carving groomers, or can they handle powder and rough snow too?
The Helio Carbon 102 is a 102 mm-waist, tip-and-tail-rockered backcountry ski built for powder, variable conditions, and technical terrain. It is intended for backcountry and alpine touring use rather than resort skiing.
What happens if I ski these on a day with mixed snow conditions?
The Helio Carbon 102 is engineered to stay playful and flowy in variable conditions while its carbon layup and ABS sidewalls add dampness and a smooth ride. Field testing found it skied with ease across firm snow, sastrugi, shallow powder, and powder with a thin crust.
