The Helio Recon 105 excels at everything from technical lines to powder laps with the durability to withstand season after season of touring abuse. The 105mm ski combines a poplar wood core and ABS sidewalls, with dampening technology borrowed from the award winning Helio construction, to deliver smooth powerful performance. The Fritschi Xenic 10 binding is a serious option for committed backcountry skiers who are willing to carry a few more grams to afford themselves a higher margin of safety.
