Ski skins usually last me more or less one season. Not that they are no longer usable after that, but the adhesive property in particular forces me to either apply new adhesive or invest in a new skin.

The traditionally ascent-oriented brand Dynafit has also committed itself to the freetouring trend and has been offering freeride outfits and skis as well as the Khion touring ski boot trimmed for downhill performance since the 15/16 season. We tested the carbon version of the boot over the course of a season in all types of freeriding and ski touring. Find out in our test report whether the time of compromises between uphill and downhill performance is finally a thing of the past with the Khion.

With its Zero series, Austrian ski manufacturer Blizzard promises nothing less than to "initiate a revolution in the touring segment" - in other words: lightness without compromising downhill performance. That sounds exactly like the ski we've always been looking for. For this reason, during a trip to New Zealand, we tested under a wide range of conditions to see whether the Zero G is the ski with which we can enjoy a "hard" descent after an "easy" ascent.

With the "Khion", Dynafit remains at the forefront of the rapidly developing market for downhill-oriented ski touring boots, which are now also ideal for ascents. The boot not only performs excellently on the descent, but is also almost in a class of its own on the ascent, both with and without skis.
