While not as blindingly light as the other skis in the Zero G family, the Blizzard Zero G 108 Skis make up for it in flotation and power on the descents. A perfect choice as a quiver-of-one for a lighter backcountry skier or a "travel ski" for a trip to Japan or Europe to do dual duty as a lift-served and touring plank, the Zero G 108 Skis remarkably like the Cochise, but weighs nearly a pound less per ski!
