Touring package: Blizzard Zero G 105 in 164 cm (Blue) paired with Black Diamond Glidelite Mix STS climbing skins, 135mm, size S (151 to 168 cm), already sized for this ski. Buy them together and save over buying each separately.
The Blizzard Zero G 105 is the wide, powder-focused ski in the Zero G touring line. It uses a paulownia core with Blizzard's Carbon Drive 3.0 construction, a rockered tip, camber underfoot and subtle tail rocker, with a waist of 103 to 105mm depending on length.
Carbon Drive keeps it stiff and damp for its weight, so it holds a line well for a touring ski. The trade-off is that a stiff carbon ski asks for a confident driver, and it is more ski than you need for firm spring days.
It suits strong skiers who tour for deep snow and steep lines and want a ski that stays composed at speed. Skiers who want something softer and more forgiving may be happier on a narrower Zero G.
Lengths run 164 to 188cm, with the radius growing from 18 to 24m. For deep snow, many skiers go with a length near forehead height.
For storm days, cold powder and big backcountry descents, the Zero G 105 is a powerful ski that is a blast to ski hard.

This guide is for alpine (downhill) skis. Ski length depends on your height, your ability, and how you like to ski. Use this chart as a starting point, then talk to us about the ski itself: rocker, width, and turn shape all change how long a ski feels.

Quick Rule
- Beginner: ski tip around your chin. Shorter skis turn easily.
- Intermediate: tip between your nose and forehead.
- Advanced: tip around the top of your head, for stability at speed.
- Expert: about 5cm longer than advanced, for hard charging and big-mountain terrain.
Adjust For
- Go longer: heavier build, fast skiing, deep snow, lots of tip rocker.
- Go shorter: lighter build, tight trees and moguls, uphill touring.
- Telemark: if you want a ski for tele, we recommend going down about 10cm from the length you normally like.
