Big-mountain schralpers and backcountry powder whores rejoice in the redesigned Black Diamond Zealot Ski. Now with a semi-rockered tip for added float and a more forgiving ride, the Zealot is still the stick of choice for big, steep, intimidating lines. Whether you’re pointing ‘em straight down a chute or swimming through waist-deep fluff, the Zealot will show you the true path.
2011 Editor's Choice Winner from Backcountry Magazine
Semi-rockered tip keeps you floating in pow and gives a more forgiving and agile ride in variable conditions
Internal Wall Core Technology uses birch and poplar for added pop and edge hold on hard snow
Formula One Technology uses three internal ribs to transmit power to the ski
Bottom Line:
The super-stiff king of freeride charging just got a little easier to handle.
I'm a very aggressive skier, 5' 11" & 190 lbs. Should i go for the 182cm or 192cm????? I can't decied b/c i love tree runs and like to have the ability to turn in small spaces. Im not sure if 192 would be too much ski.....
I LOVE these skis. They have lots of float for the deep days and excel in everything else. There is no tip dive in the deep stuff, no clatter on hardpack and ice and they are stiff enough that you feel in control even on the scariest terrain. I paired these with the 22 designs axl and they work find for touring. To give and Idea of how well these things break through crud I was skiing these in a rain crust and everyone else couldn't hardly link turns ( even skis with early rise tips) and these just cruised right through. The only thing is if you ski with a narrow stance like me the topsheet may chip but a little epoxy will fix that. Amazing ski that can really make a quiver of one.
Nice review. What is your height and weight? I am 5'10" and 172 lbs. Thinking about getting the 2010 182 cm - found a great deal on a new pair. I tele, too, btw.
I would say it is comparable... These skis are hard charging skis, that perform well at high speeds, similarly to the Gotama's. They are the stiffest ski in the Black Diamond line. The advantage to these skis, is that they can be a one quiver ski... They perform great on hardpack bumps and groomers, as well as big mountain powder and trees. Along with being stiff and a hard charger the rockered tip adds a bit of nimbleness.
I couldn't hang with the crazy stiffness of the old 192cm Zealot's, but it's amazing what a little tip rocker in this years model will do. These babies don't dive and they initiate turns quickly unlike the older design. The hard charger for high speeds, stomping airs and pushing the limits. Looking forward to getting more days in on them.
The Zealot are pretty heavy for covering much distance in the BC. They ski really well, but I would check the weight on the Armada and go with the lighter of the two.
When the first model of the Zealot came out I fell in love with it immediately. It had the stiff tail for added stability at high speeds and it was nice and fat. After skiing them for the season i found that the only problem was that the tip would dive in deeper snow because it was stiff like the tail. This has all changed with the new Zealot. It now sports an early rise tip that will keep that fat shovel tip afloat all the time. If you are looking for a hard charging ski that absolutely rips and won't give out on you at mach speeds check these out.
Check out BD's page, they have a diagram with all the mounting info you need. http://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en-us/blog/index/view/slug/binding-mounting-specs-for-black-diamond-skis
These new and improved Zealots are amazing. With the slight tip rocker,the camber, side cut and stiff tail they are amazing on big lines, deep pow, crud and are surprisingly good on groomers and the resort. Unless you like carving and skiing mogals you dont even need another pair of skis. They have the support of a 190 but are quick and agile like a shorter ski and you dont have to worry about your tip diving on those deep days. This is one!!
I have the megawatt and have ski'd them for two year and
I have the megawatt and have ski'd them for two year and love them. They just seem a little big and fat for everyday use. Would the Zealot be a better everyday ski or should i just stay with the megawatt's? I also have the Havoc, but use them just for groomers and long tours. I guess i'm wondering what difference i will feel going to the zealot from the Megawatt?
Go with the Zealot for an 'everyday' ski. They rip at the area and in crud and can handle the pow pretty well. The difference you will notice is stiffness. These skis are big, damp and stiff. They stomp airs and arc big turns. Pretty different from the Mega, but in a good way when it just isn't a Megawatt day. Or, wait for next years Megawatt which seems to be a mix between the Zealot and Mega. They stiffened it up so it's not as floppy and trimmed the huge tip back a bit. Hope that helps.
It's stiff. It's light. It's got an early rise tip. It's fat...enough. It's turn radius is perfect. IT's perfect for what it's made for.
"Bwwaaaaah hahhhhhhh hah hah haahhhhhhh!!!" is the sound echoing off the mountains everytime these tips get pointed downhill. This ski makes me cry from pleasure...or speed...or both. This is one of those skis that you just point downhill and just go along for the amazing ride. Turns in big powda are nirvana, and it's stiff enough and has the right geometry to bomb thru/over crud, and right over crust and ice. Keep em pointed straight down on those sections and they will take care of you. The tips create beatiful turns in tighter trees as long as there's powder, but the ski demands a lot of muscle and fortitude to handle technical situations on anything less than soft (can be managed though). So do your squats at the gym, get some stiff bindings and boots, and let er rip!
I can't recommend these for anything inside the ropes unless a) it's an untracked powder day b) you're expert enough to control a fat, stiff, straight-down oriented ski; enjoy bumpy rides; and enjoy choking back a ski that needs to go fast. c) you can afford paying for a lift pass that will get revoked in 20 minutes, or lawsuits from others you can't avoid, whichever comes first
Im debating about adding this ski to my quiver. Ive got the Coomba
Im debating about adding this ski to my quiver. Ive got the Coomba with Dynafits as my lighter backcountry ski, the Megawatts for deep days like today. Im thinking about the Zealot with Barons as my resort and side country ripper. I ski the Wasatch. Im 5'7 165. Thoughts? I hear great things about the Zealot. Some have given props to the K2 Sidestash.
I picked these up at the beginning of last season with the intention of learning to tele on them. I set them up with a set of hammerheads and parked my ass in Revy for the season. I've been skiing since the tender age of 4, and now at 31 I was looking for something new. These skis are unforgiving for the beginner, novice, advanced, and all but the hardest of chargers. Of the 60 days I skied last season, about the first 50 of them were spent having these skis hand me my ass. The rest were spent owning these skis and absolutely loving them. I loved them in the pow, the crud, the hard pack, the groomers.. I will be riding them again this season (10-11) and be killing everything. Get some and try to keep up.
Yes I do. 192 Zealots. I'm 6'4" 225. The bindings may raise the boot an extra half inch but in powder or even corn you get used to it. I'd be scared, at my weight, to have less of an AT binding. The skis are stiff and you don't want to sit back for a second. But they handle speed very very calmly. Don't even think about weight going up.
The Zealot is a rippin ski. Stiff enough to handle high speeds through any terrain, these skis love crud, can carve a turn on the groomers, and have enough width and an early rise tip to float through the pow. These skis can handle anything you can throw at them. If you like to ski slower, turn often, and generally cruise through your day, these skis are not for you. If you want to tear the mountain a new one and meet your friends at the bottom, this is your ski. I'm 5'11" and 145lbs and I ski the 182cm--get it.
First off, I'm not that great a skier, y but i still have a ton of fun with these. They really shine on untracked and groomed stuff. As of now, I don't quite have the skill to demolish choppy stuff. Working on that. Definitely have to stay forward with these guys. They hand my ass to me every time i fall back. Definitely pushing my skiing with these and I love it!
Trying to decide between the Justice or the Zealot as a Powder
Trying to decide between the Justice or the Zealot as a Powder specific Big Resort/Mountain ski. I have a Piste ski for the normal days, this is going to be the "big-trip" ski. Any suggestions? I am an advanced/expert skier and will be using these as an Alpine setup with Marker Dukes.
I have found the Zealot 192 to be an awesome ski for conditions that aren't full-on untracked all day long.
The burliness of this ski stands out like a sore thumb. They love to go fast through any terrain; whether it be fresh powder, tracked out powder, or mogul fields on flat light/ low visibility days. These skis do what you tell them to do, and don't get bounced around in the process.
The early rise tip helps out a lot when popping from one turn to the next, and they turn great regardless of terrain or trees.
I wouldn't rule these out as a touring ski because its a definite quiver killer if you need it for skiing everything.
Hi, Im almost 50, I am in a good shape, training 5 days a week.
Hi, Im almost 50, I am in a good shape, training 5 days a week. Every season I look for off piste adventures using a BD verdict of 1.70 mts with incredible results in evrery snow and slope. I would like to buy a second pair of skis to use in the powder and tours. Can somebody tell me please if the 1.82 mts Zealot is the right tool for these purposes ? . ( I am 1,65 of height )
The Zealot is a great ski and somewhat a wider stiffer version of the Verdict. However, it's quite heavy for touring unless you really rip and need that kind of performance in the backcountry I would look at something else.
Great ski for smooth snow (pow,chalk), super stiff and super stable. The downside is they are too stiff in the tip to be used as everyday ski as it deflects and gives way too much feedback in crud and imperfect snow.
Net Net- Great ski for soft snow, smooth snow and charging Cirques, but way too burly and stiff for my tastes in the tip for anything other than specialy. I had the 192.
Hey, so im debating between the Zealots and Verdicts and was
Hey, so im debating between the Zealots and Verdicts and was wondering if anyone could help me out. Im 150lbs 6 foot 1 aggressive skier gunna be skiing bout half resort half BC in Whistler area. Looking for a ski that'll rip everything but especially be good in the pow. Cheers
I would agree. The Zealots rip in powder and lumpy dense snow. The progressive rocker really does float over that stuff. They like to be ski'd fast and hard. As long as you can drive them, and like to ski big fast lines, they are the best ski's out there. Fun on groomers too. Little it of chatter, but pretty damn good for a rippin' haulin ass big mountain ski.
You ski aggressive and are looking for a 50/50 ski for pow. That spells Zealot in my books. The 110 mm width will be sweet for the BC and pow days, and isn't really, considering skis these days, that wide to make it unwieldily on a groomer. Stay on top of the ski, and make sure it isn't driving you, and this baby will be all you need.
These boards charge! I tried a pair today and have some great and not so great thoughts. They love high speeds and smear through pow and crud as opposed to floating and skipping on top like my Megawatts. However, They are not a playful ski but maybe it was just my 5'7 160 frame that couldnt push em'. That said, point em straight down and hold on tight because these babies ski at Mach 10!
Hi, I'm 6'4 and 200lbs and looking for a ski that will
Hi, I'm 6'4 and 200lbs and looking for a ski that will work for me touring. The 192 Zealots seem to be the largest on offer but i think i should probably look at going to 195-200cm for better float in the soft stuff. Also I like to drop cliffs, 20' is my limit but definitely need the stiffness to take that. Would the Zealots be suitable for me or should i look at Katanas?
Katanas are pretty sweet, so be sure to not forget about them, but the Zealots are a really good touring ski. That is where they win over the Katanas. I would say that the 192 Zealot will feel good for you, it has a core that isn't boring, but can handle drops, cliffs, whatever. I don't think that you need anything over the 192, it won't help you out any, that is what the waist width is for, and will weigh more, making it less ideal for longer tours. Your height makes you feel like you need a longer ski, but your weight means that anything from 185 and up will be a great fit.
2 days on this ski so far, so these are basically first impressions. I'm 5'6" 160# and I'm riding the 182 mounted with dukes. These skis want to go straight and go fast. Powder is no problem, crud, no problem. You need to pin it from top to bottom though. Another review hit the nail on the head when he said you need to choke these things back. I like it, but others may not. I'm for sure on the smaller end of the intended skier demographic for this ski. A little extra weight and height(leverage)would probably go a long way.
In all honestly, wouldn't recommend to anyone smaller than me. If you're my size, don't expect any freebies. That being said, I've had a blast on them. 4/5 stars
I would write the same exact review. I have 2 days on these in the northeast with the recent snowfall. The were fantastic but to much for me. At 5'6",165,50+, 182cm w/BD Fritschi Freeride Pro, these rocket ships tossed me in the air when going over piled up snow or bumps. They carved extemely well with just a little forward pressure due to the soft tip. Even at a 30m turn rating they were able to make much tighter turns. On the few groomers tested, they were fast and just continue to accelerate! Bringing these skis to a stop on a groomer was fun, total control. A great ski, but not what I am looking for to add to the collection.
At what point is a ski too heavy for touring? I'm just starting
At what point is a ski too heavy for touring? I'm just starting out in backcountry and have picked up a pair of Fritschi Freerides. I don't really plan on multi-day tours (although I won't rule that out either), but I do plan on most ski days in the backcountry. I'm considering the BD Zealot, the BD Justice, and the Salomon Czar. They’re similar in weight, but is 9.5 pounds too heavy, plus the Freeride bindings (at 4.5 pounds) and possibly the Scarpa Spirit 4 boots (at 7.8 pounds), for backcountry use?
Mr. mcatt has a point of course. If you can, get similar gear as the chaps you're going to tour with. If they're into freeriding with 110mm+ waisted skis and stuff you won't have much fun in a rando racer outfit, and vice versa.
I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with other folks. The question of heaviness doesn't depend on whether you new to backcountry or not, but rather what your skiing priorities are, aka what is most fun. I might catch some flak for making this generalization, but most of the time heavier gear performs better when your actually skiing downhill, the best example is the dukes. So if you prioritize downhill performance over ease of backcountry travel... go heavier, but if you'd rather tour around easier get the lighter gear. I think many people transitioning to backcountry from alpine fit into the former category, hence the popularity of the dukes.
I started earning em' with gotamas, dukes, and my old alpine boots... probably the heaviest set-up i could have picked, and have loved every second of it. I prefer that downhill confidence over a lighter load to drag around, then again I don't do many long tours either.
don't sweat the weight, get whatever will be the most fun, you'll just end up with diesel quads anyway.
Mostly reiterating what's been said above. Especially when getting into touring don't make your life hard by starting on heavy gear.
Unless you're into hucking cliffs (of maybe a really big, hard skiing guy), get a Dynafit binding. And maybe a cheek-height ski. 95mm waist is being considered as a good alround width by many people, unless you're in super deep snow climate.
Yes - your setup as mentioned above is too heavy. I sold a pair of Justices this year because I was tired of dragging them up everything I wanted to ski. I think if you really want to do a heavier ski, you should consider a dynafit binding to offset the weight a bit. At 1.8lbs, a Vertical ST binding would save you enough weight to start considering a 9.5 pound ski as reasonable. Your boot choice is pretty good there in terms of weight, but you're going with a heavy binding and ski and I'm afraid you'll regret it.
well, thats sort of a relative question. Would that be too heavy for you? is really what you need to ask yourself.
I would recommend getting which ever ski you would prefer, and decide for yourself. If you begin doing multi day tours, or your setup is plain to heavy, step down to a lighter ski.
I love this ski, traveled around the world and the zealot was always there for me, keep it simple and this is the only board one needs. The rocker tip has really helped me cut back on the tele face plants. The 182 can wiggle through tight trees, carve groomers and is sweet on big ak lines, a very playful ski.
What kind of binding do you have on these? I was wanting throw on the axl's b/c it seems the 01's have mixed reviews. I go into BC but a lot of my time is spent on the 5 mountains in CO.
The Zealot is a stiff ski that takes a lot of muscle to move around quickly, but it can be done! A shorter length will keep them more nimble and agile, but a long Zealot will be hard to whip around easily. If you're an aggressive skier, you should enjoy the Zealot's hard charging, freestyle-meets-racing flex, and early rise tip, for powder/crud domination. I like a softer, more playful ski, and I also like fatter dimensions, so this isn't my style. If I were into gritting my teeth, and tearing up, due to overwhelming speed, and intense exposed, hairball lines, I'd probably be more into the Zealot, but I like the Line Mothership more. It has similar attributes, but also a multiple radius sidecut, and freeride flex/geometry. I would definitely choose the Mothership over the Zealot. Another ski to consider is the Bluehouse District. It has a stiff, freestyle flex, generous sidecut, and great weight/strength. Also, Bluehouse is a great company, offering awesome warranties, customer service, prices, and above all, incredible skis. A true grassroots company that is all about the customer and the skis. Check 'em out.
Wow, what a ski! I'm about 5'10" and weigh around 185lbs. I decided to go with 182 length mounted with a Duke (to allow for some slack country/short tours) and absolutely love them. Was a little unsure about going with the 182 but after testing them out decided it was the right fit. The 192 length would have been a lot of ski to whip around and since I was just looking to extend/upgrade my quiver these were it. These skis deliver unbelievable power and strength that allows you blow through crud and charge big lines. One of the great things about this ski is the early rise in the tip. This assists in its ability to float in the pow and blast through crud without any or very limited tip dive or catch. While they’re not ideal for tight tree skiing due to their stiffness and long turn radius, you can still get by with them. I would suggest just feeding them big hard charging lines since that’s what they do best. They’re actually really fun on the groomers too. The torsional stiffness allows you make deep hard long turns that even deliver some pop similar to a race or carve ski. I would definitely recommend these skis to a buddy or anyone looking for a powerful ski that can do just about anything.
i currently ski on K2 work stinx w/ G3 targas and scarpa T2Xs.
i currently ski on K2 work stinx w/ G3 targas and scarpa T2Xs. i am looking for a fatter, floatier, rockered ski that will shine on powder mornings, but won't shy away from end of day cut-up crud. i have some hammerheads ready to go, but just can't decide. i've been loooking at K2 coomback, obsethed, BD zealot, havoc, verdict. any thoughts? i'm a 6'2", 205 pound, expert skier. thanks!
The Zealot is pretty burly. As an expert, you shouldn't have any trouble, especially with Hammerheads! The Coomback is a lot lighter, forgiving, and has quite a bit more flex. The rocker on the Zealot is pretty minimal compared to the ObSethed or the Coomback, and the Verdict as well as the Havoc are narrower, with no rocker. I like the ObSethed and I bet the Justice would be a good ski for you, too. A lot of versatility, and excellent performance in almost all conditions.
i just got these over christmas with BD O1's and they are amazing. still trying to find conditions these suck in and have not yet. great in pow so easy to ski for being this big. i am on the 182 and i am about 5'10" 160ish. the early rise tip is the way to go i dont think i will buy a ski with out it ever again. in conclusion great all over the place, fast and stable, a great tele ski.
Anyone know how much the Zealots really weigh? BD's site
Anyone know how much the Zealots really weigh? BD's site says 9lb 5oz, but this is the same weight as the Verdict. I've seen weights as high as 10+lbs listed elsewhere.
I liked the Zealot because it had some stiffness with some rocker! Great in all conditions but definetly designed for powder and chopped up powder. Not what I would call a turny ski, though it was not that hard to crank out some touring turns. It was great in the powder, with the rocker lifting it up in the snow but not too much. Your body position will determine the depth. Good on groomers, but you have to have them at top speed to really get a good arcing turn out of them. Not what I would call turny on groomers, but, with enough speed they felt stable and a lot like a GS ski. Blaseted through the crud and landed drops well. Really appreciated the shoter length (182) at my height and weight (5'7"/180#). Tried them one icy bumps, and they held their own. Awesome ski overall! A definete single quiver option if you seek powder most of the time.
Hi! So I have this problem of being too short for equipment
Hi! So I have this problem of being too short for equipment I want to use as is the case with the Zealots - why doesn't BD make them in a 172?! Anyway - is the Justice 175 a good 2nd choice to the Zealots? I'm looking for a one-ski-quiver tele ski (i'm in SLC). I am an ex alpine racer so i like to ski fast and steep, but also I like making turns. The 175 will definitely still be a little long for me, but do you have any other suggestions for a good touring/Alta ski? (I'll probably mount them with BD 01s or hammerhead bindings). Thanks!!
I demoed these in the 182 length last winter, and they were fantastic. I thought they'd be too much to handle, since I'm only 150 pounds and 5'9", but in the deep powder it absolutely wasn't an issue. One thing that Alexander mentioned is the turn radius. I really only used them on powder days, so when I get back on the groomers I just want to bomb back to the lift for another run, but they really don't turn on hard snow very well. In the deep stuff the rocker punches it through the turn quite well, but if you're on harder stuff, no such luck.
The Line Prophet 100s come in a 172 length. They won't give you quite as much float as the Justice and aren't rockered, but are definitely stiff and can handle high speeds and groomed runs as well as pow and crud...a little more of an all-mountain ski. They have a short turning radius (17m as opposed to the Zealots 33m!) which I like for tele, allows you to make quick turns in tight spaces...
This review is about last year's model, but it's about the construction, which has not changed and is shared between all models.
I'm not one to normally review any product, but I'm extremely disappointed and I must let this be known. I recently bought a pair of the Zealots off here and finally got to use them this weekend. The conditions at Wildcat were pretty bad, so I can't say if they performed one way or another. I'd say they'd be good with more snow. However, this review is NOT about performance, it's about construction.
I took only a few runs, came into the lodge, and returned to find my skis laying on the ground. They'd been standing up on your run of the mill ski rack (on snow). Apparently they fell on another pair of skis, because there was a big ding and peel out of the top sheet on the side wall. (these are cap skis cheaply made in China).
The top sheet, in essence, exploded out. I doubt it caused any structural damage but it looks like utter crap. the skis were two runs old. I skied on them a bit more and snow was getting in the tear most likely making it worse.
Anyhow, I of course called Black Diamond to find out what they would say or do. I sent them pics and their response was as follows:
"The damage to your skis looks like more than a tap from a ski or from falling over in the snow. However that damage will not affect the performance or structural integrity of the ski. I would take some 2 part epoxy and glue the topsheet down and that will also insulate the core (keeps water from getting inside the ski). That repair will keep your skis up and running and you shouldn't have any further issues with them."
So you're telling me I lied to you? There were about 5 people there who skied with me before and after and were pretty shocked at what they saw. I found the skis knocked over with them all there and found the damage. The only other possible senario would be that I somehow crossed my tips and dug my edge into the other ski. I didn't do this but I digress...
I'm pretty pissed about this. I don't require pristine equipement. These skis were purchased to be used. The fact that this kind of damage could happen so easily is disconcerting to say the least.
They are cap skis made in China. They are very cheaply made and this is why the price is so low. In my opinion, they are NOT worth it. Just stay away.
The above review contains a lot of false information, so you eri2486854's the liar in this case. First of all, there were construction issues with the 1st generation run of the Zealots. Black Dimond addressed this issue with the second generation which now features some awesome early rise rocker. Second of all, it is NOT AT ALL UNCOMMON for topsheets to react badly to falling on other skis, skis, especially in the early season, are shape, and thus, if they impact each other they are definetly going to cause some damage. I agree with Black Diamond's assessment that it is only cosmetic, and I have to say, it seems like the user's fault in this case. I have spoken to many who have ridden the Zealot and are very happy with both their performance and durability. Sorry bro, but you placed the skis in a bad spot, and they fell on someone else's skis...definetly NOT Black Diamond's fault. I should note that I don't ride for Black Diamond, but, I have owed MANY of their skis (Verdict, Kilowatt, Megawatt, and Justice) and have never had any problems. If you are going to rip on a great company that makes a great ski like the Zealot, you best MAKE SURE it is not your fault, which in this case, it is. The Zealot is a great ski and well manufactured, don't pay attention to the mindless ramblings of someone who messed their own skis up and now wants to be compensated.
Having the same dilema as the Robsta...
Haven't skied any
Having the same dilema as the Robsta... Haven't skied any thing over 190 for a long time. I am currently on a pair of 07/08 Hombres and love how stiff and stable they are. Whores say Justice has soft tail. I'm 6 foot 205lbs and like to ski agressive. Should I go with the 182 or 192? I will be doind alot of tree skiing? How do the 192s do in tight places? Would the 182s be enough skis for the deep days.. Ski at Mary Jane, Berthoud, Cameron Pass area, steamboat and other north central areas of CO... Thanks,
I am 5'8" and the 182 is pretty much prefect. It skis longer than a 182, in my opinion, and has awesome skiing characteristics at my size. You could go 192, without a problem, but if you are skiing in tight places and like to turn fast, then the 182 might be the ticket. I have talked to multiple people who are 6' plus and 185# plus and still ski on the 182. Most people I speak with prefer the 182 over the 192 for the above reasons, but, to each his own. The 182 is definetly still quite a bit of ski, especially if you are coming off something softer and easier to turn.
The 192's actually do quite well in the tighter trees, considering the size. But I like to ski longer, even in those conditions. If you feel comfortable on a shorter ski, then the 182 will not hold you back.
Hi, I used a pair of verdict last season,an amazing ski, however,
Hi, I used a pair of verdict last season,an amazing ski, however, Im looking the Zealot as a second pair of skis. Are they more stiff than the Verdict or are a little bit softer to enjoy smooths turns
If your looking for a softer powder board then check out the justice, 5 mm wider, same tip profile, but a LOT softer. They would balance well with your verdicts. Verdict for old snow, justice for new snow.
The new Zealots are fat stiff and designed for control at high speeds in pow and variable snow. They are definitely stiffer than the verdicts but if you want to take your skiing to the next level give them a shot. They definitely rip!
