A 136-104-123 mm shape at 179 cm with an early rise tip floats in soft snow, and a variable-width titanal sheet over a poplar core keeps the ski settled when the snow gets cut up rather than letting it deflect. At 1,880 g per ski at 179 cm this is a resort and sidecountry ski rather than a touring ski, and Black Diamond builds it around a stated 70 percent soft snow and 30 percent hard snow

wide freeride skis by where the skier spends the day. Radius runs 17 m at 172 cm to 19 m at 186 cm, which is a narrow spread, so length here is about surface area and stability rather than turn shape. A skier working tight trees should take 172 cm; a skier opening it up on big terrain should take 179 cm or 186 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThe 104 mm waist needs a 110 mm brake at minimum.

A variable-width titanal sheet over a poplar core, flat-top construction and full ABS sidewalls give a 104 mm ski more composure on firm snow than the width suggests, while the early rise tip and rockered tail keep it doing its real job in powder and chop. At 1,880 g per ski at 179 cm it is a lift-served ski rather than a touring ski, and there is no skin attachment, so treat the Helio line as the answer if you want to earn your turns.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Black Diamond","offers":[{"title":"172 \/ Piton Purple","offer_id":48624832610461,"sku":"BD11515750221721","price":1539.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"179 \/ Piton Purple","offer_id":48624832643229,"sku":"BD11515750221791","price":1539.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"186 \/ Piton Purple","offer_id":48624832675997,"sku":"BD11515750221861","price":1539.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/7103\/files\/115157_5022_Impulse_Ti_104_Skis_Piton_Purple_02.webp?v=1788543923","url":"https:\/\/cripplecreekbc.com\/en-ca\/products\/black-diamond-impulse-ti-104-skis-1","provider":"Cripple Creek Backcountry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
