Best of the Backcountry
Zero G 105

I was delighted by how little these skis weighed when I pulled them out of my roof box. At 1320g per ski, there are certainly lighter alternatives if you’re looking to burn uphill faster, but not many of them will give you as much surface area to stand on when it counts. That’s what these skis are for- making your time in the backcountry count.

The shape of your touring setup will always depend upon your preferences–namely how much weight you’re willing to drag uphill. The Zero G strikes an impressive balance between uphill access and downhill performance.

The only words of caution we can offer about the Zero G are when firm snow is involved. Like any lightweight carbon ski, they’re prone to deflection when you drive your tips into anything too consolidated. In a similar sense, they don’t have the bite it takes to handle icy slopes- so it pays to be on guard when conditions are less than perfect.

Notable Features

Carbon Drive Technology 3.0: A shaped carbon laminate layer runs the length of the entire ski, adding more edge hold, stability and rebound to the ride.
