Black Diamond Impulse 104 Alpine

A hard-charging one-ski quiver that can rip through hard snow but provide plenty of float to help you surf through deep pow. The Impulse Ti 104 is an all-mountain charger, featuring a 104mm waist that provides nimble turnability when needed, and playful, floaty performance in deep powder. The ski's flat, solid-core construction with an additional Titanal sheet and full ABS sidewalls add torsional stiffness and provides premium power transmission, dampness, and stability to hold fast while charging on harder snow. Austrian-made with pre-preg fiberglass and an engineered poplar core, the Impulse 104 is a free rider's one-ski quiver built to rip.Features:- A hard-charging one-ski quiver for all aspects of the mountain- Versatile 104mm waist handles a variety of conditions- Rockered tip and tail and traditional camber underfoot- Made in Austria with a pre-preg fiberglass layup and poplar core- Added layer of Titanal for dampness, power, and stability- Flat-top construction and full ABS sidewalls for increased power and torsional stiffness- Versatile 104mm waist handles a variety of conditions.- Flat-top construction and full ABS sidewalls for increased power and torsional stiffness.Specifications:- Size Range: 172 cm- Dimensions: 135-104-123 mm- Turn Radius: R 17 m- Weight Per Pair: 3660 g (8 lb 1.1 oz)- Optimal Use: 70% soft snow, 30% hard snowTechnology:Titanal Top Sheet:- A high-strength metal plate is embedded underneath the composite layer to ensure Glide and Durability that binding screw retention is never a concern. This plate also serves to increase torsional stiffness and provides a solid foundation underfoot.Prepreg Fiberglass (BPRO):- High Performance Mounting Plate High-strength E-Glass fiber is oriented along multiple axes and optimized to provide a smooth and consistent flex profile, longitudinal strength, and torsional stiffness, striking a balance between toughness, durability, damping, and weight.Internal Core Damping:- Elastomeric materials are strategically located within the ski to improve damping. These layers serve both to absorb high-frequency vibration and also to allow some shear between internal layers, improving both performance and durability.Engineered Poplar Wood Core:- Poplar is nearly ideal as a ski core material when downhill performance toughness, and torsional stiffness is the top priority.Full Perimeter ABS Sidewalls:- ABS sidewalls wrap the entire perimeter of the ski, offering optimal durability and Internal Core damping. Used on skis designed for maximum downhill performance and durability, but optimized for minimal weight.
