Black Diamond Impulse Ti 104 Skis

The Black Diamond Impulse Ti 104 is the new storm day specialist for when the sky opens up over the Rockies or Cascades and the forecast calls for a deep dump. This is the only one ski you’ll want at your feet. The Impulse Ti 104 earned the "Powder All-Mountain Ski of the Year" as a hard-charging, 102 plus waist ski designed specifically to "shine when the snow gets deep," offering a playful, floaty performance that turns every storm day into a highlight reel. With this year’s "boom or bust" snow cycles, being prepared with a 104mm waist ensures you have the float to surf the booms and the stability to charge through the crust. What sets the Impulse Ti 104 apart from the pack is the tip to tail geometry with a 17 meter turn radius. Black Diamond moved the edge contact entry point further back, a design choice that creates a unique "surfier" feel without sacrificing an ounce of control. This allows you to pivot and smear through secret stashes in tight trees allowing riders to feel nimble edge to edge on a moments notice. The structural Titanal sheet provides the dampness and power required to hold fast on technical lines.  While these skis were born to rip lift-accessed terrain, they are uniquely positioned in the morning powder ski slot because of their incredible weight-to-power ratio. They are light enough to be crowned the touring powder ski of the season, yet rigid enough to handle the torque of a high-performance hybrid setup. Whether you pair them with a Salomon Shift, Duke PT, or Dynafit Rotation, you're getting a setup that won't weigh you down on the skin track but will absolutely shred gnar on the descent. For the intermediate rider, it’s a confidence-builder that smooths out variable chop; for the expert, it’s the high-performance replacement for that tired, floppy pair of boards currently in your garage.
