What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've been running the Impulse 98 Ti as my daily driver. It snaps edge to edge on firm mornings, stays quiet when the speed creeps up, and still pops through trees and bumps. The poplar core keeps it lively while the metal layer gives real bite-confidence on boilerplate without killing the fun in soft snow."Who It's ForAdvanced Intermediates to Experts:For skiers who want one pair to carve hardpack, blast afternoon chop, and slip through trees after a refresh-stable at speed but still quick and responsive. What It's ForAll-Mountain Daily Driver:A 98mm platform with rocker/camber/rocker that grips on groomers, pivots cleanly in tight terrain, and offers enough float for soft-snow days between storms. Why We Like ItStability, Energy, and Edge Grip Together:Poplar and elastomeric damping make it composed yet lively, while a titanal sheet and full build channel power to the edges. It's the rare mid-fat that feels confident on ice and fun when it softens.
