The Black Diamond Route 95 is a daily backcountry driver that will be sure to stand up to season after season of ski touring.

This is a ski that offers premium performance on deep days whilst with an impressive torsional stiffness that can drive powerful turns in technical terrain and mixed conditions. Built in Austria with a 95-mm waist, fiberglass layup, poplar wood core and flat construction for increased torsional stiffness, the Route 95 incorporates many of the same design principles as Black Diamond’s Helio Series, with an emphasis on durability that makes it ideal for daily use by dedicated backcountry skiers. A rockered tip provides improved flotation both in deep snow and on the skin track, whilst a versatile 95-mm waist handles a variety of conditions.
