Pairing the Helio Carbon 104 Skis with the Helio 350 Bindings (which we reviewed here), and the Glidelite Mix Helio Carbon Pre Cut Skins creates an unbeatably lightweight backcountry ski touring set up. This is after all the second-widest ski in the Helio Carbon line of skis which is Black Diamond’s lightest collection of skis. If you are looking for a pure backcountry ski then this is it, while it can ski groomers this is not what this ski is designed for so don’t expect too much of it on this type of terrain and you won’t be disappointed. The Helio Cabon 104’s semi-rockered tail finishes turns with intention and ensures that kick turns on the skin track are easy unlike other skis with more tail rocker. You might want to consider mounting the Helio 104’s just ahead of centre which will help keep their tips in check and pointing the way you want them. The more snow the better for the Helio 104’s. Deep, light snow, however, is where this ski performs best, they float with ease and turn effortlessly. You need to drive these skis and I found speed was their friend as they liked to go fast and carve longer turns rather than short. Since this is a very lightweight ski they do take some concentration and muscles to ensure they don’t deflect in variable snow and choppy conditions. Their smooth flex allowed the Helio Carbon 104’s to be fairly damp considering their diminutive weight, there was minimal tip chatter and they stayed on course if you remained focus while driving them. While I didn’t find them particularly fast in tight turn transitions, given their 104 widths I did appreciate how stable they were at speed on harder snow-GS turns over slalom are their preference. While more at home on soft snow, the Helio Carbon 104 Skis have a mild amount of camber under foot to ensure there is plenty of rebound and pop in each turn. The Helio Cabon 104’s generous tip rocker makes slashing powder turns easy yet they remain virtually chatter free on firm and hard-packed snow. I’m partial to carbon construction skis given how torsionally stiff yet light they are, and why I as eager to test the new Helio Cabon 104’s. With a full tip to tail carbon layup, these skis remain light yet not overly stiff and still fairly forgiving in pow. This latest version is designed as a hard-charging backcountry ski that is still impressively light. While Black Diamond has had the Helio Skis in their line up for a few years now, for this season they have totally redesigned them with a new construction and rocker profile.
