The ski can handle what you throw at it, while not being too heavy on the approach. It’s also good for ski mountaineers that like to ski fast and aggressively down variable conditions, and prefer the extra float and rocker provided by a bigger platform.
The Helio 105 is a good option for a one-ski quiver for folks that hunt for powder on their daily adventures. That said, the ski has the same construction and dampening system found on the other skis in the line that make hard snow not just bearable but fun.
With the ample waist, it’s obviously more of a powder hound than the 88 and 95. The 105 is the not the slimmest ski in the Helio lineup.
