Description provided by Blizzard
The Zero G 95 was the ski of choice for ski mountaineers Hilaree Nelson and Jim Morrison to conquer their epic, first descent on the world’s highest, biggest line—the Lhotse Couloir on 27,940-foot Lhotse peak in Nepal’s Himalayas. The Zero G 95 gave them the performance they needed to get down safely—not to mention the high-altitude pow turns they scored! An ultra-lightweight paulownia wood core paired with updated iteration of Blizzard’s proven Carbon Drive technology in version 3.0 provides for efficiency on the skin track and a more consistent, stable feel on the descent. Your backcountry adventure may be closer to home, but you can still reap the benefits of Austrian engineering that delivers the best downhill performance for the weight.
The Sportmania opinion:
The Zero 95 was a huge buzz at the time of its release 3 years ago, because it constituted a record in terms of dimensions / weight, and it largely influenced other brands towards this choice. Knowledge, that hikers on high altitude also want a nice tool for the descent, and do not compromise on pleasure in powder. The Zero G 95 is therefore a means of hiking and an incredible success, to the point of declining in several colors, which is rare enough to be emphasized. The Zero G 95 will appeal to good skiers with its very incisive side. It holds the course, the tip is very present and does not move, the heel also provides a very good seat while giving off a little power at the end of the turn. What else?

The Carbon Drive 3.0 is the technology upgrade of the Carbon Drive 2.0 technology: a full length 3D shaped unidirectional carbon fiber chassis running through the entire length of the ski, combined with an ultra-light pawlonia woodcore (Zero G 85, 95) or ISO/BEECH/POPPLAR core (Zero G 105): this combination guarantees a super lite construction keeping the necessary structure for performance.
Ensures optimal torsional rigidity and flex, placing the carbon in those area where it is really needed.
