Black Diamond Impulse Ti

It is designed to handle both equally well. The Titanal reinforcement provides the stability needed for resort groomers and chop, while the lightweight construction ensures you won't burn out on the skin track.

At 98mm, this ski is versatile enough to handle soft snow, especially with the rockered tip and tail that help with float. While it isn't a dedicated powder ski, it offers plenty of maneuverability for most backcountry conditions.

Not at all. While the Titanal adds dampness and stability, the poplar core keeps the ski accessible and forgiving. It is a great choice for a beginner or intermediate rider looking for a ski that will grow with them as their skills progress.

With a turn radius between 17 and 19 meters, you can expect a medium turn shape that feels predictable and stable. It is versatile enough to carve on firm snow but agile enough to pivot quickly in tight trees.

The camber underfoot provides the necessary edge hold and stability for high-speed carving. The rocker is primarily there to help with turn initiation and maneuverability, so you get the best of both worlds without sacrificing control.
