Fun daily driver

I now have 10 days on these skis in early season conditions, most (but not all) days with good amounts of fresh snow. The day the lifts stopped in March, 2020, I bought a pair of Armada Tracer 108s and set them up with Shift bindings so I could skin up and ski terrain in Park City and in the Cottonwoods. I replaced them with these BD Impulse Ti 104 with Shift bindings. These skis are only a couple hundred grams heavier, but work much better when carrying speed on packed snow. They still float well in bottomless powder and did well in soft bumps, firm bumps, and even crusty crud.

I haven't skied on these yet but I have last year's ski and I've been on it since November 8th,when we opened. Daily work ski. Unfortunately we're in the slippery tilted concrete stage of the man made season. Easy to flick these around, snappy and responsive, perfect for patrol work, for me they carve and hold and edge. I keep them tuned and waxed every week. The Ti 's will be mounted with 22 Designs Bandits driven by new Scarpa TX Pros. Currently I'm running Marker Griffins on last year's model. So one for Alpineone for Tele. Can't wait, there getting mounted now finally. Luv em!

After One Use - Love Them
5 months ago
I am a skier that primarily skis on the East Coast in VT. I used these skis for the first time last weekend in extremely icy VT conditions, and they held an edge much better than I expected them to. I was a bit concerned that a 104 would be too much for the icy conditions we have out East, but I worried for nothing - these skis handled incredibly well. I have not had the opportunity to use them on a powder day yet, but if they were fun even in bad snow, I know they will be an absolute blast in soft snow - both in and out of bounds.

I have the Impulse 104 in a 186. I'm 184cms and 76kg. I took them to Japan, Furano and Tomamu. Mounted them with a pair of Dynafit ST 14. Loved them. They were awesome on the groomers, specially when doing long turns. In the deep pow they behaved very well, but have to back seat a little. They excelled in the trees and on pillows. I could turn them in a dime. I would recomend them a lot. For some reason that i dont understand they have titanal in them. Which they shouldnt but im not complaining, they dont chatter.

Solid ski

Haven’t gotten to ride them yet, but they seem solid. I like the camber with the hybrid rocker on the tips. Should work well for a one quiver ski.

Very Versatile

I work in retail and have been using this ski for a month now and I am really satisfied with it, have it mounted with a Salomon S/Lab Shift 13 and it is as fun for Ski Touring as it is for Alpine Skiing. It is also very robust and playful.

Great all around ski

Purchased as a single quiver ski and with the right bindings this does it. I don’t feel much chatter doing icy groomers and it performs really well in the powder and as an uphill ski.

Everything BD claimed about these beauties is true. I can't wait to get out and see how they do going uphill and downhill this winter.
