The Blizzard Zero G 95 skis are a fantastic choice for backcountry skiers who are looking to maximize their enjoyment in the outdoors. From the first skin track to the last powder 8, the Zero G 95 skis are here to make your life easier and more fun. At 95 mm underfoot, the skis are in that good middle-zone where you can use them in a wide variety of snow conditions and terrain. They're not too wide that they lose some quickness, and they're not too narrow that they'll sink. They have the Goldilocks thing going for them, and for many skiers, this fits their ski style really well. From a construction standpoint, it's pretty impressive how Blizzard makes a ski this light perform so well. Starting with a Paulownia wood core, Blizzard adds pretty much a full layer of carbon to stiffen things up. This is done without the addition of much weight, given the lightness of the carbon fiber material. Further stiffening the ski is the carbon reinforcement in the mounting zone of the skis. This not only increases binding retention, but also makes the ski a strong performer in sharp turns. The longer radius sidecut is great for softer snow as well as uphill skiing. You're able to ride a straight ski, making it easier to get around. For the downhills, the longer radius makes it easier to vary turn shape and style, and is less catchy than a shorter radius ski.

 These things are feather-light, really well suited for very versatile backcountry performance. Not going to spend a whole lot of time riding the lifts on these, certainly meant for more human-powered skiing. As a result, we'd recommend putting a more technical binding on this rather than a hybrid binding like a Shifter, a Duke PT, something with true Pintec and a rotation heel would better suit the weight of this ski. It is a full sidewall underfoot, and then it tapers to cap in the tips and the tails, so from a downhill perspective, that means that it's going to be very maneuverable, which the lightweight already makes it, but it does add that little bit of torsional stiffness underfoot, better edge grip for when conditions get sketchy

But overall, this skier here is going to be on the advanced side of the spectrum, pretty dedicated backcountry tourer, good for going up the resort, up and down, and as well in the woods, 95 underfoot, we're looking at a 22 meter turn radius, so pretty straight cut on these skis, and that's going to be all right for deep snow, soft snow. We definitely get the tip and tail rocker that help with the flotation as well

 It's a full-length carbon laminate, extends all the way to the edges underfoot. There is a binding retention plate in there, and then tapers to the middle and the front as well, so that additional laminate of carbon does stiffen the ski, doesn't add a lot of weight.

2022 Blizzard Zero G 95 W - SkiEssentials.com Ski Test

 Hey skiers! I'm Jeff from SkiEssentials.com. Welcome to our 2023 ski test. Today we're talking about the Blizzard Women's Zero G95

 And when I say class, I really mean like in regards to how light it is. So if you're that style of skier, if you really value responsiveness and edge grip and good feedback from your skis, you're going to love the Zero G95. It's not like super smeary and surfy, it is more precise. But I think there are a lot of skiers out there that like that and it really comes in handy if you're skiing challenging technical terrain, tight shoots, tight trees, stuff like that

 But then I think it's fair to say that the Zero G's have always been one of the better downhill performers in their, at least in their weight range. Sometimes when you get that light, skis can feel pretty darn flimsy, even a little kind of pingy. They just get deflected a lot, especially with this new construction. This is hands down one of the most precise, most responsive and strongest touring skis in its class

 One is a basically three-dimensional carbon frame, which is really cool and that's probably the most important use of carbon that we have here. When you use carbon in that three-dimensional format it just creates a much stronger ski and more vibration damping, a little smoother too than just traditional horizontal laminates. We also get carbon reinforcements right underfoot here. You can actually see it in the sidewall

 Yeah it's light. It's maybe I want to use the word twitchy but I don't want to scare you. Let's say it's kind of responsive. You adapt to that quickly

 That's damn light. That's not getting into racing light but but for touring that is certainly a very light ski. You know the story here is you're getting Blizzard geometry at a very low weight and if that's what you want you know maybe let's call this again sort of a hard snow weighted touring ski more in the carvey rather than powdery direction. I think this is probably about as good as you can get right now

 It's very light. This is what a touring ski ought to be so kudos to Blizzard for this one and we're gonna ski a few more before the day runs out here. All right.

 It feels like a carbon ski but it's a pretty good implementation. It's not harsh. It's pretty darn silky sweet actually and what I'm able to do in terms of carving and turn shape versatility really impressing the heck out of me all over the mountain. Nice and snappy on the steeps, on the soft snow, really really impressive carved GS turns on hard snow

Blizzard Zero G 95 Review: with the Zero G you get Blizzard's hard snow geometry in an exceptionally light (approx. 5.3lbs/pair) Touring chassis.  For those backcountry skiers seeking carving performance in this weight range the Zero G is perhaps unsurpassed.

Blizzard Zero G 95 | Blister Gear Review

The Salomon MTN Explore 95 is made for advanced backcountry skiers who seek long distance tours and far-off missions. A 95mm waist provides a wide footprint and works with a subtle tip rocker to keep the rider on top of the snow when both skinning and skiing. The 3D Karuba full woodcore, C/FX carbon weave, and Koroyd tip make the ski stable in a variety of conditions and terrain.
Key Features:
- 3D Karuba Full Woodcore – The woodcore construction gives the ski a classic feel with excellent stability and chatter absorption, while keeping it lightweight.
- C/FX Carbon Weave – Adding stability and rebound to the ski, the carbon weave provides extra power without excess weight.
Koroyd Tip – A wide honeycomb insert in the tip reduces swing weight and increases float, making the ski easier to maneuver.
