Black Diamond Route 105 Review. If you missed them here are the trip reports. I spent a week this spring ski touring around WhistlerBlackcomb on the Link 105s trying to find their flaw.
Lots of good things to say with a small sp. At just over 1600g per ski the Helio is in the upper category of what wed consider suitable for human-powered skiing. Shop for Black Diamond Helio here.

These skis are nearly identical save for the fact that the dampening technology has been changed. Narrowed it down to 2 skis. Black Diamond states that the Helio 105 is designed for dedicated backcountry skiers who demand both technical precision and soft-snow performance which definitely puts it into the backcountry one-ski-quiver category so this review will focus on how well the Helio 105 functions as an everyday all-conditions touring ski. This is the holy grail of backcountry skis and the Black Diamond Link 105 Skis satisfy both requirements very well.
