If you know, leave a comment below! Anyway, I thought that was interesting because I wasn’t aware that there were many ski manufacturers sourcing core material from the same supplier. However, it’s unclear from the press release whether BD uses bCores or ampliTex fabrics so I can’t say for sure. Here is a press release from bComp in 2015 stating that Black Diamond was one company of nearly 20 using bComp’s technologies. One of them is a Black Diamond ski with a bComp sticker on it…do Black Diamond skis use bComp cores too? Was the balsa flax wood core in the 116 Carbon supplied by bComp? Maybe. In the video on that page around 30 seconds in there are some skis in the background. These cores are supplied by a company named bComp. That said, they are great for uphill, but downhill, not so much. Here’s the interesting part: in their ultra light core they use balsa wood with flax shear webs. The Helio Carbon 104s -The are super light, and Im convinced I bought the wrong size. (Note: I’m not affiliated with them in any way, but I thought some of their skis look rad. Unrelated digression: when I was hunting for info on balsa/flax ski cores, I stumbled on this custom ski maker in BC, Canada. Maybe I’ll get some more teaser pics up after mounting bindings…I have some ATK C-Raider 12 bindings in the mail to go on these Helios. Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Black Diamond Helio Carbon 104 mounted with Helio 350 bindings + skins at the best online. The Black Diamond Helio Carbon 104 Ski is built for dawn-to-dusk backcountry missions where slashing powder stashes is the name of the game. I’ll report back later this season when I have more info. Next up is to mount some light tech bindings on these powder sticks and go make some turns.

Apparently there are precut Glidelight Mohair Mix skins pre-cut for the Carbon 115, but I can’t find them in stock anywhere at the moment.
