About this product
The Black Diamond Impulse 104 Ti is a men's backcountry and freeride ski built for advanced intermediate riders tackling off-piste terrain in mixed and powder snow conditions. Available in three lengths (172, 179, and 186 cm), it features a sandwich construction with an engineered poplar wood core reinforced by pre-preg fibreglass for stability and rebound, plus a Titanal layer that improves power transfer and edging performance on firmer snow. The 104 mm waist (dimensions of 135-123-104 mm at 172 cm, scaling up to 137-124-104 mm at 186 cm) keeps turns nimble underfoot, while twin tip and tail rocker profiles deliver float and a surfy feel in deep snow. Camber underfoot adds precision when conditions demand it. Flat top construction and ABS sidewalls contribute stiffness and help absorb variable terrain. A low-angle tail with a cut-out simplifies skin attachment for uphill travel. Turning radius ranges from 17 m at 172 cm to 19 m at 186 cm, and packed weight starts at 3.66 kg for the shortest length. Made in Austria, bindings are not included.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Black Diamond Impulse 104 Ti as an exceptional one-quiver ski, highlighting its versatility across a wide range of conditions. Its Titanal construction earns repeated credit for delivering impressive stability, dampness, and power transmission, while the rockered tip and tail provide genuine float in powder. Many users note that the 104mm waist feels narrower on hardpack and wider in soft snow, making it perform beyond its spec. Expert testers commend its ability to hold an edge and drive confidently even on firm or variable snow. The most common criticism is that the topsheet can show cosmetic wear faster than expected, and some testers note tip chatter and reduced stability at very high speeds on hard-packed terrain. It is generally recommended for advanced to expert skiers, as its playfulness can feel less forgiving for intermediates.
