A great upgrade for my second season in the backcountry!
I have been enjoying this ski on powder days in and out of bounds. It's fun to rip on groomers and duck into the woods with. The turning radius is nice, but I don't enjoy riding switch on these skis as much as a true twin tip. Having started with an 89 underfoot for my first season in the backcountry, this has been a major upgrade! This ski has made my backcountry experience and powder days far far more enjoyable.
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.
Nice upgrade
I have been skiing the Helio 104 for a few years. I am enjoying the new 102. It floats in soft snow and has great edge hold on firm snow. It is a nice improvement over the 104.
