Light, fast ascents with Helio Carbon 95 Ski—95mm touring float and precise control

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“I reach for the Helio Carbon 95 when the plan is big vert with unknown conditions. It skins effortlessly, feels calm on refrozen exits, and still planes and pivots when you sniff out soft pockets. The carbon layup brings torsional bite without harshness—confidence up high, fun all the way back to the car.”


Who It’s For

Advanced Backcountry Tourers to Ski Mountaineers:

For riders stacking long approaches who want a light, mid-width platform that floats when it’s deep, edges on wind buff, and stays predictable in tight couloirs and variable spring snow.


What It’s For

Mid-Width Touring for Mixed Snow:

A 95mm waist that balances uphill efficiency with downhill control—early-rise tip/tail for easy planing and pivoting, plus camber for bite on firm, morning-hard surfaces and sun-affected exits.


Why We Like It

Low Weight, Real Edge Hold, Zero Fuss:

Pre-preg carbon over a paulownia core keeps grams off without a nervous feel. Beveled ABS sidewalls add precision and durability, while the tail-notch and binding plate make transitions and mounts worry-free.

Phantom Glide By DPS Skis

This ski is compatible with Phantom Glide, the long-lasting base treatment from DPS Skis. Backcountry technicians apply and UV-cure it before the skis ship, so they arrive ready to ride with no waxing needed.

How It Works

Applied By Backcountry Techs
Backcountry technicians treat and UV-cure every pair in the shop before it leaves the warehouse, so the skis arrive ready to ride with no setup required.

Glide That Outlasts Wax
Wax sits on top of the base and wears off in a few days. Phantom Glide bonds into the base, so glide stays fast and consistent from cold powder to spring slush.

No More Wax Days
Phantom Glide replaces scraping, ironing, and shop visits with a quick base cleaning using the Phantom Glide Base Care Kit. The formula is made without PFAS.
