Helio Carbon Ski + Raider EVO Binding + Zero G Tour Pro Boot

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve been running this setup for long alpine missions and it’s everything I want—light on the climb, rock solid on the descent. The Helio 102 floats beautifully but feels composed in variable snow. The Zero G Tour Pro boots are unbelievably light yet ski like a full alpine boot, and the Raider 13 EVO bindings are the perfect middle ground of simplicity, security, and smooth transitions. It’s the kind of setup that makes big days feel smaller and steep lines feel smoother."

Who It’s For

Advanced Backcountry Skiers and Technical Tourers:

Built for dedicated ski mountaineers and backcountry explorers who demand minimal weight without compromising downhill control. Ideal for skiers who tackle long approaches, steep couloirs, and remote powder lines where reliability and responsiveness matter most.

What It’s For

High-Alpine Touring and Steep Backcountry Descents:

This package thrives on ambitious objectives—from long traverses to summit-to-valley missions. The Helio Carbon 102 provides float and stability in powder and mixed snow, the Zero G Tour Pro Boots offer unmatched stiffness-to-weight for confident skiing, and the Raider 13 EVO Bindings keep transitions fast and retention secure for all-day performance.

Why We Like It

Featherweight Precision with Full-Throttle Performance:

We like this package because it delivers on both sides of the touring equation—efficient climbs and powerful descents. The Helio’s carbon layup and paulownia core keep weight low and energy high, while the Zero G Tour Pro boots drive the ski with a 130 flex that inspires trust on steep, variable terrain. The Raider 13 EVO binding completes the trifecta with clever engineering that’s reliable and easy to use, so every lap feels smooth and dialed from transition to turn.
