Blizzard Zero G LT 80 Ski
Here's something! Blizzard decided to apply their years of Zero G know-how to a specialized ski mountaineering tool. The LT 80 is a finely crafted set of skis that provide the ultimate confidence in steep terrain. A long running edge, subtle rocker, and tapered tail make precision jump turns and side-slipping quite comfortable. The tweaked Carbon Drive chassis from the Zero G construction makes sure the ski won't fold on you and the mini-sidewall forces the edges into a firm surface. A consistent flex offers the repeatability necessary to have the courage to make the next leap. The Blizzard Zero G LT 80 will be a skimo staple for years to come.
- Carbon Drive LT is a uni-directional fiber wrap offers a round flex and torsional stiffness.
- Wider tip and tapered tail help plane up if the conditions get a little manky.
- Small camber and gentle rocker are the perfect combo for steep confidence.
- TrueBlend core has a bit of pop and edge dampening for a stable feel.
- Mini sidewalls eat into firm snow and add some durability.
- Tip is notched so you can use a race-style skin system.

Will the LT configuration be available in any other widths? Be great to see it in the 105.

Thanks for reaching out, Christian. At this time we aren't aware of any other skis in the Blizzard line getting the LT treatment.

Would love to hear some more thoughts on this ski and how it feels on-snow from Dr. Borro or others who have gotten some turns on it thus far. East Coasters are curious!

Hi East Coaster, The new Blizzard is fun, playful, but very solid on edge ski. With just enough forgiveness to make sure you dont get extra puckered on already steep terrain.

What's the point? Just a bit narrower and a bit lighter to fill in the Zero G lineup?

Hi Zach, the LT 80 is definitely a different ski as compared to the other Zero Gs. It uses a new layup ("Carbon Drive LT") that has a different feel, really at home in the steeps. Also, tip notch!

Is this a next-season ski with a limited release this year? Any chance of getting a 178?
2/9/2022
Hi Jonathan, yes that's right. We've had the opportunity to ski and stock them. We do expect a few 178s, but don't have a concrete date. Please reach out via email to reserve a pair.
