![]() I skied in vulcans with power wraps whenever i used it last season, i never felt like the boot was over powering the ski in any way. It really feels like more ski than it is. If only it was 300g lighter!", and that's sort of what I think the Helio is, of course it's not quite as stable and damp but you get the idea. I skied that and thought "wow, this is sweet. It does feel like the switch in factory made a huge difference, I don't want to compare it to the Zero G 108 because it's obviously a burlier ski but. In deeper stuff stuff though at first I did miss a little bit of the float that the larger nose provides, for me it was a simple matter of adjusting my position a bit but I did nose dive a time or two before figuring it out. Where the Convert would fold up and hit you in the knees, the Helio pushes through. It has the feel of a much bigger ski compared to the convert, it's very comfortable at speed and feels more responsive in hard conditions because of the all together stiffer flex but I feel it has a lot to do with the flex and profile of the nose. The tip just lacked the punch to go through that stuff and really drive, this is something that I found that the Helio 105 does much better. I really liked the Carbon Convert as an all round touring ski, I felt it was easy to ski in most conditions except for breakable crust and when going fast in chopped up slightly heavy pow. Don't work there anymore though but I do like the brand. Other similar touring skis I like: BD Carvon Convert, Dynafit Denali, Dynafit Stoke.īig skis I like: 4FRNT EHP, Blizzard Bodacious (>15/16), Whitedot Ranger Pro.ĭisclaimer: I worked with BD last season, that's why I got a pair early. ![]() I managed about two weeks on mine in pretty much all conditions except blower before the season was over. ![]()
