Great Touring Ski
I’ve been using the Black Diamond Helio 102s for a mix of Colorado backcountry days and Denali prep, and overall I’m really happy with them. They’re impressively light on the skin track, making long approaches and kick turns much easier, but still feel confident and stable on the descent — even with a heavy pack. The 102 waist hits a nice sweet spot: enough float in soft snow, yet still manageable on firm or variable conditions.
