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.

For too long, backcountry skiers have been stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to the their skis: To compromise on downhill performance for the sake of uphill efficiency, or to haul hundreds of extra grams underfoot to have a ski they feel confident on. The Zero G 105 solves this quandary by bringing Blizzard's 77 years of experience building ripping skis to the backcountry touring stage. Powered by an ultra-lightweight paulownia wood core paired with an updated iteration of Blizzard's proven Carbon Drive technology in version 3.0, the Zero G 105 feels just as at home on the skin track as it does attacking the fall line. So go ahead and earn those turns, and have some damn fun while you're at it.

If you are searching for the perfect tool to shred in the backcountry, look no further. The 105mm-waisted Zero G solves the longtime quandary of backcountry skis that need to be both lightweight for the uphill and high-performance for the downhill. Blizzard's engineers personally test prototypes in the Austrian Alps, and they intentionally designed a ski that would crush vert and distance, but more importantly, ski with the integrity and high-performance Blizzard skiers crave on the downhill. Thanks to Carbon Drive 2.0 and a customized shape for true backcountry adventure, the Zero G 105 feels right at home on the skin track. Then, when you reach the top and pull your skins off, it transitions into reward mode for a hard-charging, freeride payoff.
