W Impulse 104 Ti + Freeraider 14 + Hawx Prime 95 XTD - 2026

The Black Diamond Impulse 104 Ti Ski comes matched with the Freeraider 14 SL Binding and Hawx Prime XTD 95 Boot, a setup that works a resort morning and a backcountry tour without asking for a gear swap between them. The boot's 54 degrees of walk mode and Frictionless Pivot make the climb efficient, while its GripWalk sole and reinforced spine carve groomers just as confidently once the skins come off. The ski's titanal layer and poplar core stay composed through both, and the binding keeps that power transfer consistent whether the day started at the lift or the trailhead.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I skied groomers at first chair, then skinned up for an afternoon lap without changing a single piece of gear. The boot felt just as at home clicking into the lift line as it did flexing through a bootpack."
