80 mm Ski Mountaineering Touring Ski

Blizzard Zero G 80 Alpine Touring Ski

The Blizzard Zero G 80 Alpine Touring Ski is a narrow, light touring ski for skiers who rate the climb first: dawn patrol laps, long traverses, hut trips and ski mountaineering objectives. At 950 g per ski in the 164 cm length with a 108-80-94 mm shape, it is built for the climb, and an ash insert underfoot adds strength and binding retention to the light wood core. Blizzard's 5 Radius Sidecut, straighter underfoot for grip on icy steeps, and a size run from 150 to 178 cm make the Zero G 80 a fast, secure tool for firm snow and big days.

Is This the Right Ski for You?

Best For
Fitness tourers, ski mountaineers and long-distance skiers who want a light 80 mm ski that still holds on firm, steep snow.
Consider Another Ski If
Your tours end in powder more often than firm snow, or you want one all-mountain ski; the Zero G 96 floats far better.

Why We Like It

  • 950 g per ski in a 164 is 360 g less per ski than the Zero G 96 in a 178, and that weight is what pays off over thousands of meters of climbing.
  • An ash insert underfoot adds torsional strength and holds binding screws, so a light ski still feels secure when you clip in at the top of a firm line.
  • The 5 Radius Sidecut runs straighter underfoot for grip on steep, icy snow, which is where a narrow ski most needs to be trustworthy.
  • Five lengths from 150 to 178 cm, with the radius scaling from 18 to 22 m, let skiers size for their weight rather than settle for a narrow size run.

Best Uses

  • Dawn patrol and fitness touring
  • Ski mountaineering and long traverses
  • Hut-to-hut trips
  • Spring corn and firm, steep lines
  • Skiers who want a dedicated light ski

Ski Selection Advice

The Blizzard Zero G 80 Alpine Touring Ski comes in 150, 157, 164, 171 and 178 cm. For a climbing-first ski, many skiers size a little shorter than their alpine ski for easier kick turns and lighter weight; size up if you ski fast in open terrain.

For skins, size off the 94 mm tail and use a 100 mm skin trimmed to the ski. Pair the Zero G 80 with a light pin/tech binding to keep the weight advantage; a heavy frame binding works against what this ski is for. If you run brakes, choose one wider than the 80 mm waist.

Common Questions

Who should buy the Blizzard Zero G 80 Alpine Touring Ski?
The Blizzard Zero G 80 Alpine Touring Ski suits skiers who rate the climb first: fitness tourers, ski mountaineers and long-distance skiers. At 950 g per ski in a 164, with an ash insert underfoot and a sidecut built for grip on icy steeps, the Zero G 80 is light and still secure on firm snow.
What bindings work with the Blizzard Zero G 80 Alpine Touring Ski?
The Blizzard Zero G 80 Alpine Touring Ski takes pin/tech touring bindings or frame touring bindings; it carries no integrated binding or plate. A light pin/tech binding keeps the weight advantage. Binding compatibility with your boot is set by the binding and the boot's sole norm, so match the binding to your boot first. If you run brakes, choose a brake wider than the 80 mm waist.
Is the 25/26 Zero G 80 the same as the Zero G LT 80?
No. The 25/26 Zero G 80 is a new ski that replaces the Zero G LT 80. It adds an ash insert underfoot and the 5 Radius Sidecut. Weights and figures published for the LT 80 do not apply to this ski.
How much does the Blizzard Zero G 80 weigh?
950 g per ski in the 164 cm length. Weight rises and falls with length.
What skins fit the Blizzard Zero G 80?
Size the skin off the 94 mm tail and use a 100 mm skin trimmed to the ski.
Is the Zero G 80 a women's or men's ski?
The Zero G 80 is unisex. With lengths from 150 to 178 cm, the Zero G 80 fits a wide range of skiers.

Our Verdict

The Blizzard Zero G 80 Alpine Touring Ski is the 25/26 Zero G for skiers who tour to climb. At 950 g per ski in a 164 it climbs fast, and the ash insert and 5 Radius Sidecut keep it secure on the firm, steep snow where narrow skis earn their keep. Skiers who want one ski for powder and corn should look at the Zero G 96; skiers chasing vert, traverses and objectives should start here.
