Black Diamond Impulse 104 Ti Ski - 2026 One Color, 172cm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I skied the Impulse 104 Ti as my daily driver on everything from chalky groomers to storm chop. It feels lively but planted—poplar core keeps it quick edge to edge, while the titanal sheet calms down chatter when I open it up. In trees, the rocker lets me pivot on a dime, and there’s plenty of float for surprise refills.""Who It’s ForAdvanced Intermediates to Experts:For skiers who want one setup to handle most days—carving on firm mornings, slashing afternoon chop, and threading trees after a reset. Best for confident riders who value stability at speed without giving up quick, reactive handling. What It’s ForAll-Mountain Versatility with Powder Chops:A 104mm waist and rocker/camber/rocker profile balance float in soft snow with reliable edge hold on groomers. Tight, intuitive turn shapes make it easy to pivot through glades, while camber underfoot gives power on hardpack. Why We Like ItStability, Agility, and Float in One:Poplar keeps the swing weight reasonable and the feel energetic; the titanal layer and full sidewalls add damping and bite when conditions firm up. It’s a strong, confidence-building platform that still feels playful off-piste."
