Go hard or go home. When the powder gods don't deliver, there's still fun to be had if you're ripping around on the nimble Stance 88 Ski.

Do it all—the mountain is your oyster.

When Black Diamond says the Impulse 98 Ski is all-mountain, they really mean the whole mountain—both in-bounds and out. It's a versatile all-mountain ski that rides the backcountry as well as the resort. The shape is equally versatile with a solid ability to perform in soft snow as well as firm.
