The 2025 Blizzard Zero G 105 is a featherweight backcountry ski that doesn’t flinch when it’s time to get rowdy on the descent. It’s designed for touring-minded skiers who want the float and downhill capability of a freeride ski—without paying the price in uphill misery. If your ideal ski day involves big climbs and big lines, this one belongs in your quiver.

At 105mm underfoot, the Zero G 105 hits that magic width where you get plenty of float for powder touring without sacrificing edge hold or kick-turn friendliness. The updated version carries forward Blizzard’s proven Carbon Drive 3.0 construction, wrapping a paulownia wood core with a full carbon laminate that keeps the ski incredibly light but impressively torsionally stiff. The result is a ski that feels nimble on the uphill and surprisingly composed at speed on the descent.

Despite its touring-first DNA, the Zero G 105 doesn’t ski like a noodle. It’s stable underfoot and holds an edge on steep, firm terrain—something many lightweight skis struggle with. The long, gradual rocker profile up front gives it great float and smooth turn initiation, while the flatter tail provides a solid platform for finishing turns and anchoring in tight spots. It won’t feel surfy or playful like some wider, softer powder skis, but that’s not the point—it’s designed to be reliable and precise in high-stakes terrain.

For 2025, there are no radical changes to the geometry or construction—Blizzard knows they’ve hit a sweet spot with this model. Just minor tweaks to improve consistency in the layup and a graphic refresh. Compared to its skinnier sibling, the Zero G 95, the 105 offers a lot more downhill confidence and float without a massive weight penalty. Versus skis like the Dynafit Beast 108 or Salomon QST Echo 106, the Zero G is lighter and more touring-focused, though a bit less forgiving in choppy or soft snow.

In short, the Blizzard Zero G 105 is for serious backcountry skiers who prioritize weight on the uphill but still expect real performance on the way down. It's not flashy or overly playful—but when you're out deep in the mountains, you'd rather have dependable than decorative. This ski delivers.
