This page is provided for reference to historical product information.

The Black Diamond Drift skis cruise through soft snow with a semi-rockered tip and 100mm waist, and they're light enough to take on long backcountry trips in search of untracked terrain.

  • Efficient Series ski construction uses overall less material than the Black Diamond Power Series, resulting in a lighter-weight ski with just a touch less torsional power
  • Semi-rockered tips and 100mm waists provide excellent flotation in deep powder snow
  • Formula One Technology™ with carbon fiber reinforcements features 3 ribs that run the length of the ski to deliver liveliness and power for hard-charging skiing
  • Lightweight paulownia wood cores surrounded by Torsion Box construction provide torsional power and energy pop
  • Torsion Box technology wraps fiberglass around the core like a burrito
  • Efficient-series skis feature flat tails you can easily plunge into firm snow when building anchors or staking out a tent
  • Stainless-steel notches at the tails keep climbing skins securely attached and centered
  • Base or topsheet color may vary from online photo
  • High-speed sintered bases on the Black Diamond Drift skis feature a cross-hatch stone grind for the best balance of durability, glide and maintenance

Please note: Black Diamond products can only be shipped to the U.S. and Mexico.

    Comments about Black Diamond Drift Telemark / Randonee Skis - 2010/2011:

    Bought these as soon as they came on the market. Was riding old BD Verdicts on O1s and these are lighter, more forgiving, rockered versions of them. I'm 5'7" 150 lbs and the 176s are a touch short but close to spot on. They are nice and light for the uphill without sacrificing on the down. Not a huge rockered tip, but enough that it is noticed and appreciated. Nimble and responsive. Stable enough to land moderate drops. Wouldn't necessarily recommend them for big guys hucking big cliffs or someone looking for a quiver of one on/off piste ski. If you are looking for a lighter weight mid-fat ski for mostly backcountry that is super fun to ride, definitely keep these on your short list!!

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
