BLACK DIAMOND Impulse

A mid-fat 98mm waist covers all the bases and solid Austrian construction guarantees this ski won't back down from any conditions on the mountain. Engineered Poplar Wood Core – Poplar wood is the material of choice for skis where downhill performance, toughness, and torsional stiffness is a priority. Its longitudinal stiffness offers a consistent contribution to the flex profile, while its shear and compressive strength allow the composite layers to properly carry the dynamic loads when the ski bends, and its natural damping properties smooth out the chatter. Poplar is nearly ideal as a ski core material when downhill performance is the top priority.

This ski uses a traditional Poplar-cored, full sidewall design that's been proven over and over again to work. No gimmicks, all performance, 100% smiles.
