#Black diamond helio recon 105 skis 2022 review update

Update 2018/19: Along with a graphics update the ski had its layup tweaked for a bit more dampening.

Titanal binding reinforcement plates are the latest in lightweight mounting security. Being a carbon constructed ski with a balsa flax core, the Helio 105s are an ultra-light, yet fat, so theyre an ideal powder ski that can also take on some.

5mm ABS sidewalls offer good rock impact protection and improve edge hold on the steeps.

Rockered tip and tail and a generous waist let you float in powder and stay above the chop.

Sidewall Dampening System has integrated rubber behind the heel for hard snow performance.

Balsa flax wood core is laminated with carbon-fiber for good torsional stiffness and stability. By Christine Updated DecemThis is my review of Helio 105.

The ski can handle what you throw at it, while not being too heavy on the approach.

It’s also good for ski mountaineers that like to ski fast and aggressively down variable conditions, and prefer the extra float and rocker provided by a bigger platform. The Helio 105 is a good option for a one-ski quiver for folks that hunt for powder on their daily adventures. That said, the ski has the same construction and dampening system found on the other skis in the line that make hard snow not just bearable but fun. With the ample waist, it’s obviously more of a powder hound than the 88 and 95. The 105 is the not the slimmest ski in the Helio lineup.
