Everyone’s shredding more sidecountry/backcountry lately. And just in time, Blizzard arrives with a dual-duty beast to solve your touring quandary. Namely, the Zero G —available for men and women. This well-balanced touring ski is crazy-light for the skin track and high-performing/stable for the downhill.

For 2022, Blizzard relaunched the Zero G with Carbon Drive 2.0 technology to deliver a lighter skin uphill and as much, if not more, performance on the downhill. The featherweight carbon fiber adds torsional stiffness while the wood core flexes naturally. Athlete feedback also helped Blizzard design the sidecut and running surface for improved control at specific waist widths. The 105mm is especially ideal for variable snow conditions, with generous underfoot width for more float when you need it.

The 105 mm 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. It can handle resort groomers, too.

✨GIVEAWAY TIME✨We've teamed up with @rab.equipment to give you a chance to win an epic prize to kick-off your summer adventures and See More Sunrises!
Jet lag can be a beast. It throws off our body clock leaving us drained of energy and constipated; the prime recipe for irritability. Not exactly the ideal vacation vibe, right? In our quest to ensure you don’t get stuck trudging through your day like a zombie, missing first chair, and sleeping through those short, precious daylight hours, we consulted the pros: snowboarder and Canadian Olympian, @spencerobrien spends roughly 200 days a year on the road and just as many in the snow.
Last day of the season @whistlerblackcomb! How was your season on the mountain? #whistlerblackcomb #mountainlifer
We hope this long weekend took you somewhere this beautiful 😍 #mountainlifer
Weekend motivation with @skifelix + @yankaczynski #mountainlifer
FRIDAY FLICK! @jasonhardrath has spent his entire life in motion: whether that was on sports teams as a young boy, as a triathlete through his early adulthood, or in the mountains, through today.
#ThrowbackThursday 👉Rhythmic raindrops pounded on the truck’s canopy. Wet snow avalanches growled down the slopes, and the river echoed its roar—evidence the Nass Valley’s spirit was very alive. According to the Nisga’a people, K’alii-Aksim-Lisims (the Nass River, one of BC’s richest river systems) is as much a part of them as their own flesh and blood, flowing through their land and lives.
Join us to hear from the Squamish Search & Rescue on trip planning, outdoor safety, outing ideas, and tips for backcountry travel while enjoying local beer and good company at @hellyhansenwhistler tomorrow eve! #Linkinbio to register!
@jamiemocrazy’s traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurred on her second competition run in slopestyle skiing at the finals of the World Ski & Snowboard Festival in Whistler in April, 2015.
Reel Rock 16 is coming to #Squamish! There are two showings 👉 May 20th and June 1st at the Eagle Eye Theatre, Howe Sound Secondary School, in beautiful Squamish supported by @climbonsquamish! #Linkinbio to get your tickets! #climbing #film #filmfest #climbers #adventure #climbon #adventure #squamishbc #tickets
