About this product
The Black Diamond Impulse Ti 98 is a women's backcountry and freeride ski built for advanced intermediate to advanced riders who want one ski capable of handling varied off-piste conditions. Its sandwich construction pairs an engineered poplar wood core with pre-preg fibreglass for reliable stability and rebound, while a Titanal layer improves power transfer and edge hold on firmer snow. The 118mm tip, 98mm waist, and 119mm tail (at the 168cm length) give it enough float for powder without sacrificing control on mixed surfaces. A twin rocker profile with camber underfoot keeps the ski lively and surfy in deep snow while maintaining grip when conditions firm up. Flat top construction and ABS sidewalls add stiffness and help absorb variable terrain. A low-angle tail with a cut-out simplifies skin attachment for touring. Available in 161, 168, and 175cm lengths, with a packed weight of 3.38 kg at 168cm and turn radii ranging from 15m to 17m. Made in Austria, bindings not included.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Black Diamond Impulse Ti 98 Women's skis for their impressive all-mountain versatility, noting they are stable at speed, damp through variable conditions, and surprisingly capable in bumps, trees, and steep terrain. The added Titanal layer earns repeated credit for reducing chatter and improving edge hold compared to the previous non-Ti version. Testers highlight a quick, reliable turning radius and a playful, responsive feel that suits aggressive resort skiers. The main criticism is that the 98mm waist falls short on true powder days, and on very firm, icy snow the ski can tend to skid rather than carve cleanly. Most reviewers position it as an ideal everyday driver for mixed and soft conditions rather than a dedicated hardpack or deep-snow specialist.
