Why We Like The Impulse 104 Ski

Even when the weather is seeming predictable and snow conditions seem mellow you can never be sure of what you are gonna find on hill. This is why we turn to the Black Diamond Impulse 104 Ski. This ski offers quick edge to edge control, ample float for fresh snow, and a bombproof construction that we can trust every time out.

Great "do everything" skis

Love these skis! Have skied on Elan Ripstick 106 for years, but I wanted something with just a little tighter radius. Excellent skis. I'm using them mainly as a daily resort driver for both on and off piste. Just the right pop - not too much or too little. Effortless in soft snow. Very surprised how well they handle hard pack. Haven't had a real pow day, but I love, love, love these so far. The 186 is perfect for my 6'1"/215 lbs frame.

Size Bought:
186CM

2nd pair of BD's and I love their products. I got the 186CM and it handles everything I have thrown at it so far. Powder, trees, fresh on top of crust, you name it and it takes it all in. They are a bit heavy for very long tours, but on the plus side they don't get tossed around in variable conditions. Well done Black Diamond!

Love these bad boys.

I usually ski 95-98 width. But this year I wanted to try something different. No disappointed, I can tell you that, 104 is super smooth through powder and moguls, has a lot pop and flexibility when you need it. Rips through groomers like carving ski. An ultimate choice for all around skis. Only one thing needs improvement is the top material, it comes off pretty easy

Responsive ski

Good weight for jump turning in couloirs. Very playful ski. The only downside is a little soft for going real fast.
