Backcountry Skis

Like a great mullet, it is our firm belief that the best skis are those that work hard and party harder. Specifically designed for the backcountry skier who is the first to hit the skintrack and the last to leave a party, the Hustle 10 knows as well as you do that there's a time to put in the work and a time to crank it to 11. Built off our tried-and-true freeride-oriented profile with a waist width that gets wider as the ski gets longer, and powered by an all new lightweight TrueBlend Free wood core, the Hustle 10 isn't afraid to do either. What this translates to is a ski that can bust ass up the skintrack and leave you with no doubts when it's time to rip the skins and point 'em down hill. Now get out there and earn your damn turns.

The Zero G 95 has a first descent on the world's highest, biggest line—the Lhotse Couloir in Nepal's Himalayas. Ski mountaineers Hilaree Nelson and Jim Morrison requested Blizzard's Zero G 95 when they set out to summit the 27,940-foot-peak, and indeed, the skis got the pair down safely—not to mention the high-altitude pow turns they scored! Your backcountry adventure may be closer to home, but you can still reap the benefits of Austrian engineering that delivers the best downhill performance for the weight. Carbon Drive 2.0 paired with an ultra-light paulownia woodcore ensure efficiency on the skin track, while maintaining strength, a solid edge grip, and a stable feel for the descent. TECHNICAL SPECS: - Construction Sandwich Compound Sidewall (Carbon), Carbon Drive Technology 2.0 - Rocker: Tip-Tail Rocker - Factory Base Bevel: 0.9° -/+ 0.2° - Factory Side Bevel 87.7° (Tol.-/+ 1.5°)

The Zero G family has gained a new member that's ready to shake up the ski-mountaineering world and as hungry as you are to check off new lines. The Zero G LT 80 packs 70-some-odd years of alpine performance you've come to know and trust from Blizzard into an 80mm-waisted, sub-1000-gram skin track assassin. At the heart of the LT 80, the uber-lightweight TrueBlend Tour woodcore ensures the ski is soft and nimble where you want it, while remaining stout and stable where you need it if things get dicey on a descent. The unidirectional Carbon Drive LT provides torsional strength and forgiving flex for improved performance on the down, while carbon reinforcements at the binding mounting points assure unprecedented edge grip, power transmission, and improved binding retention. Whatever far-out peak you dream of reaching next, trust the Zero G LT 80 to get you to the top and more importantly, back down safely.
