Impulse Ti 104 – A one-ski quiver
This is a hard-charging, all-mountain ski made in Austria for riders who want one pair that’s at home on both hardpack and powder.
Updated construction uses post-consumer recycled materials, including a 100% recycled race base, 50% recycled sidewalls and a tip inlay made entirely from old ski boots.
Optimal use: 70% soft snow, 30% hard snow
Powder performance
104 mm waist and rockered tip and tail provide float and maneuverability in soft snow.
Carves on hardpack
Traditional camber underfoot adds edge control on tracked-out snow or hardpack.
Power and stability
A layer of Titanal helps dampen vibration while adding power and stability at speed.
Helio 30 Backpack — Adaptable, streamlined, technical
Built for everything from quick dawn patrols to full-day tours, the new 30-liter Helio keeps critical gear organized and accessible for backcountry tours. Body fabric is 100% post-consumer recycled.
A dedicated snow-safety compartment provides fast access to a shovel and probe while contouring around the shovel blade.
Access main compartment through the top or back panel — plus a quick access side pocket.
Back panel and top zip access to the main compartment, with internal H2O bladder and external routing.
Removable carry systems for skis, a snowboard, rope and dual piolets.
Recon Stretch Shell — Versatile, day-in, day-out skiing
The Recon Stretch Shell combines storm protection with the freedom of four-way stretch fabric. Its three-layer BD.dry construction is waterproof, breathable and windproof.
Pit zips release excess heat on the skin track or warmer laps. A chest pocket, two skin-compatible internal drop pockets and a removable powder skirt add ski-specific functionality.
Available in men’s and women’s styles, the Recon Stretch Shell is built to handle deep powder days and long storm cycles.
Designed for the deep
Black Diamond has an unparalleled backcountry heritage, but its ski equipment isn’t confined to touring.
The Impulse Ti 104 is equally at home on resort laps, sidecountry lines and deep in the backcountry. The Helio 30 keeps avalanche tools and technical equipment organized wherever you ski. And the Recon Stretch Shell provides ski-specific functionality across diverse terrain.
Whether it's charging hardpack, hunting powder stashes or putting in a full day on the skin track, skiers in the know reach for Black Diamond equipment.
