Zero G 96 Ski blends ultralight touring power with versatile all-conditions control
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I’ve spent long days on the updated Zero G 96, and it’s the most confidence-inspiring touring ski I’ve used. The slightly softer flex makes breakable crust and variable snow way more manageable, and it still feels super light on the skin track. I also appreciate the recycled materials—nice to know it’s a little easier on the planet."
Long days in the backcountry demand gear that’s as committed as we are. The Blizzard Zero G 96 Ski takes everything we loved about the legendary Zero G 95 and makes it even more versatile, approachable, and sustainable. A softer flex profile smooths out rough, unpredictable snow without giving up the edge hold and dependable downhill performance that earned this ski a cult following among dedicated tourers.
Under the hood, Blizzard’s Trueblend Touring Core 2.0 pairs ultralight Paulownia and Poplar with a dense Ash insert underfoot for reliable binding retention. The new Carbon/Glass layup trims weight while balancing power and forgiveness, and the Rocker Camber Rocker profile provides a predictable blend of float and grip on everything from powder to windboard. Finished with recycled base and sidewall materials, this ski is a step forward in performance and environmental responsibility. From dawn patrol laps to multi-day traverses, the Zero G 96 stays light on the ascent and steady on the descent—no matter what conditions we find.

Balanced Power for the Backcountry
Engineered with Trueblend Tour Woodcore for stable descents and efficient ascents.

Precision-Tuned Woodcore Flex
Trueblend Tour blends lightweight paulownia with stronger poplar to tune flex through the ski.
Strength underfoot improves stability while softer tips and tails enhance turn initiation.

The Right Weight Philosophy
Zero G construction focuses on optimal weight—not the lightest possible build.
This balance improves climbing efficiency while maintaining downhill confidence.

Adaptive 5 Radius Geometry
Five distinct sidecut zones create smooth turn transitions.
A straighter center radius improves edge grip on steep and icy terrain.

Engineered in the Austrian Alps
Blizzard skis are developed in Mittersill, Austria, where alpine terrain shapes every design decision. Engineers combine modern materials with decades of ski-building expertise to create skis trusted by athletes, guides, and backcountry skiers worldwide.

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.

Mounted And Ready To Go
When skis, bindings, and boots are purchased together, a Gearhead Expert mounts the bindings before the order ships.
