The Black Diamond Impulse 104 Skis are the perfect all-mountain ski for those who want to carve smooth arcs on the hill and float through pow on the other side of the rope. With a 104-mm waist, these skis provide nimble turnability when needed, and playful, floaty performance in deep powder. The flat, solid-core construction and full ABS sidewalls add torsional stiffness and provide premium power transmission, dampness and stability to hold fast while charging on harder snow. These Austrian-made skis feature pre-preg fiberglass and an engineered poplar core that make them a freerider’s one-ski quiver built to rip.
Key Features:
- All-mountain charger with a 104-mm waist for nimble turnability.
- Flat, solid-core construction with full ABS sidewalls for torsional stiffness.
- Dampness and stability to hold fast while charging on harder snow.
- Playful, floaty performance in deep powder.

Fantastic All Mountain Ski
Originally posted at www.blackdiamondequipment.com on Feb 24, 2025I've only been on these skis twice so far, but I am loving them! Nice and playful, they ski shorter than they are. Great feedback and edge-ability on groomers and firm stuff (at least for a 104 underfoot ski). They eat variable snow and crud for breakfast. I haven't' found a condition that they aren't capable on. Taking them out west next week and am excited to see what they can do!

Great "do everything" skis
Originally posted at www.blackdiamondequipment.com on Jan 29, 2025Love these skis! Have skied on Elan Ripstick 106 for years, but I wanted something with just a little tighter radius. Excellent skis. I'm using them mainly as a daily resort driver for both on and off piste. Just the right pop - not too much or too little. Effortless in soft snow. Very surprised how well they handle hard pack. Haven't had a real pow day, but I love, love, love these so far. The 186 is perfect for my 6'1"/215 lbs frame.

Erik was great!
5 /5
Erik was very helpful in assisting me to pick out my first pair of skis and ski bindings! I am an intermediate-level skier but have always used rental skis, so when looking to buy my own, I didn't have much of a knowledge-base. Erik was very helpful in answering my questions and with narrowing down which skis would be a good fit for me, taking into consideration my height/weight, skill level, skiing strengths and weaknesses, and price range. Thank you very much, Erik!

This was my first time buying snow sport gear of any kind. Tyler used the information I gave him to give me some really great choices and get me all set up with a board, bindings, and a helmet. He was very responsive to my questions and had recommendations for sizes and settings that I would not have been able to figure out on my own. He was great!

Brandon Nailed My Snowboard Setup!
5 /5
Brandon was awesome! He helped me choose the perfect snowboard gear, a Burton Cartographer with boots and bindings. He made sure everything fit perfectly and even scored me a great deal. Super pumped with my setup, the setup worked perfect for Midwest and East coast riding! Thanks, Brandon!

Tyler was super helpful!
5 /5
Tyler made great recommendations and really took the time to understand where my skill level is at and where I intend to ski. Ultimately, I was uncomfortable making the investment without trying the skis first, so I ended up buying a pair that I had rented several times and really liked. I had so many questions and came very close to purchasing skis a few months ago but now I that I have nearly finished this season I have a better idea of what I was looking for!

Nico helped me decide what length Atomic Mavens to get and bindings. He helped me decide that these skis will work on East Coast ice and Jackson Hole powder. I wish Curated was sticking around because it's such a great service. My cousin bought skis bindings and boots last year with curated and is stoked.

Great help.
5 /5
Tyler helped to reassure me on the board I have been eying, while also suggesting the best options for boots and bindings; he never tried to push the most expensive option, but rather gave me a number of choices to consider for myself (and in fact, recommended a cheaper boot option than the one I went with!). He was a great help and I feel confident that he helped me make a solid purchase.

Additional Board
5 /5
I was looking at updating my board and was just looking around. After a quick chat with John to narrow down which board to pick, he made it easier than going into a store. He helped out with an additional discount that no other website could beat. Too hard to pass up a great deal, I bought the board and bindings. Cheers to debuting it before the season ends!

She knew exactly what I was looking for...
5 /5
I already knew what skis I was trying to find, based on the conditions I wanted to ski and also based on my skill level. Not only did she recommend the exact skis that I had been looking for, but she also recommended a better set of bindings than the ones I had previously thought were a good fit. I love that she's a neighbor over in VT while I'm in NH, so she knows East Coast (Ice Coast) skiing like I do. I'm so excited for the deal I just landed on brand new 2025 skis, and I have Shannon to thank for helping me narrow down the perfect fit. I'm just so sad to hear this amazing company is closing its doors, but while the deals are good and before they go, I will be recommending them to everyone I know! Thanks again, Shannon! Happy skiing!

Noah helped me tremendously. I kind of knew what I wanted but by asking the right questions, he helped point me in the best direction for my changing skill level and age and kind of terrain I'd be skiing more since moving to a different state. He took everything into account. He gave me choices for each item I wanted---skis, bindings, poles---and put together a perfect curation! I'm super stoked to be able to take advantage of the discounts of course, but I never would've been able to do that or even find such great equipment without Noah's help!
