Headed to Denver now so I don’t have the skis near me. I believe the mount point is very similar. Rocker profile change is simIlar to how the rocker on say the Bonafide changed. There’s more splay but the rocker might not go as far down the ski if that makes sense. The rocker gets slightly less in each model from 105 down to 85.
I’ll take some pics when I can.

Great, thank you. Too bad you can't bring them to Denver!
But are you saying the mount point is similar to the old 0G 95 or the new 0G 105, because it seems like the mount was moved forward substantially with the redesign of the 10X size -- the old 0G 108 was -11.5 (ish?) and Lee said the new one is -7 so that's huge."Alpine rock and steep, deep powder are what I seek, and I will always find solace there." - Bean Bowers

How in general would they compare to the Helio 105?

auvgeek I haven't been able to track down a ZG95 from this year's batch to check. What couchsending said too as they ZG105 has a more pronounced tip and tail splay. Haven't forgotten to do this but need to get a 2019-20 ZG95

I really appreciate the info in this thread, thanks. It convinced me to pull the trigger on some 192 cm ZeroG 108s.
I don’t want anything narrower, shorter, or softer for my typical winter tour. So that rules out the 2019/20 version...despite the added rocker.

I also dislike how far back mounts ski. Anything past -8.5cm or so and I'm not a fan. Why is that? I have no formal ski training.

Found this from gregl and reposting it without his permission as it's good confirmation bias for me

"I didn't test too many touring skis, but I made a point of checking out the new Blizzard Zero G 105 an Zero G 95. The Zero G 105 sports an all-new mold and lighter construction, while both skis have been "toned down" a bit in terms of torsional rigidity. I shouldn't have worried about Blizzard going too "wimpy" - the skis still charge hard and have exceptional edge hold for their weight, but are less demanding and won't require as much detuning straight out of the wrapper as the originals."

The Helio and ZeroG are very different skis in construction and profile.

Found something negative to say about the ZG 105 for a review after 25+ days on them. Had 30+cms new low density wind-transported snow on supportive well-bridged N facing 45 deg slopes off Little Baldur at Sol Mountain Lodge's tenure.
Scoped out chutes and steeps on the trees and (a couple of days after the storm) skied them. Had to straightline about 10m down a chute into a massive powder bowl. Came out hot turned and submerged tips promptly tomahawking. Reasonable conclusion is I have to be lighted on skis, or get lighter or that 105mm underfoot may be undergunned for that type of skiing.
Skier 78kg meadowskipper; Tecnica ZeroG Tour Pro boots; Blizzard ZeroG 105 skis.
