The Blizzard Zero G 96 W is a women's touring ski with a 96mm waist, a rockered tip, camber underfoot and a flat tail. It is built on Blizzard's Trueblend Tour core with a sandwich sidewall and cap construction.
It is very light, around 1,145g per ski in the 164cm by skimo.co's measurement, which pays off on long climbs. The trade-off of that low weight is that it rewards smooth, centered skiing more than a heavier resort ski would in chopped-up snow.
It is a great pick for women who tour often and want one ski for powder days, spring corn and everything between. The notched tip and flat, notched tail make skin fit simple.
Lengths run 157 to 178cm with the radius growing from 17 to 20m. Most touring skiers choose a length around chin height.
For long days on the skin track and fun turns all the way down, the Zero G 96 W is a light, confident ski we love.
Tip rocker for float with camber underfoot and a flat tail for edge hold and easy skin fit.
Blizzard's touring woodcore, tuned for low weight.
Notches at both ends keep skin clips secure.
