Confidence is everything in the backcountry—and the all-new Zero G 96 W delivers it in spades. Designed for women who want a touring ski that feels intuitive on the climb and rock-solid on the descent, this ski blends new-school construction with a calm, predictable ride. From remote couloirs and no-fall-zone traverses to before-work fitness laps, the Zero G 96 W sets a higher standard for balance, stability, and enjoyment on every mission. Blizzard reimagined their touring platform with a lighter, more progressive core, dialing down carbon and dialing up wood to create a ski that feels grounded without weighing you down. It’s agile where it needs to be, strong where it matters, and welcoming to both advancing and expert backcountry skiers alike.

Technology Breakdown

Trueblend Tour 2.0 Woodcore

Lightweight + Accessible Performance
A balanced blend of paulownia for low weight and poplar for energy and durability creates a core that’s smooth, predictable, and confidence-inspiring.

• Reduced carbon = less chatter, more stability

• Poplar reinforcement = stronger edge hold and supportive flex

• Softer tip and tail = easy turn initiation, terrain forgiveness

• Firmer midsection = dependable strength underfoot

This core is engineered for skiers who want security on steep descents and agility during long approaches.

Ash Wood Insert

A new torsional anchor built for real-world conditions.

• Placed underfoot for power transmission and edge precision

• Adds strength without harshness—unlike carbon-heavy designs

• Creates a calm, planted feel on firm snow and high-consequence terrain

Ash brings a natural damping quality that elevates stability while preserving a playful personality.

5-Radius Sidecut

Flow, control, and adaptability in one shape.
By dividing the ski into zones with different radii, the Zero G 96 W adapts seamlessly to terrain changes.

• Straighter radius underfoot = confidence on steep, icy pitches

• Tighter radii at the tip and tail = smooth, intuitive turn entry and exit

• Improved versatility in powder, wind-affected snow, and tight terrain

This design ensures the ski responds instinctively whether you're hop-turning down a chute or opening it up in soft snow.
