Lively stability for any day—Impulse 98 Ti Ski rails groomers and surfs soft snow
What Our Gearhead® 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 For
Advanced 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 For
All-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 It
Stability, 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.

Phantom Glide By DPS Skis
This ski is compatible with Phantom Glide, the long-lasting base treatment from DPS Skis. Backcountry technicians apply and UV-cure it before the skis ship, so they arrive ready to ride with no waxing needed.
How It Works

Applied By Backcountry Techs
Backcountry technicians treat and UV-cure every pair in the shop before it leaves the warehouse, so the skis arrive ready to ride with no setup required.

Glide That Outlasts Wax
Wax sits on top of the base and wears off in a few days. Phantom Glide bonds into the base, so glide stays fast and consistent from cold powder to spring slush.

No More Wax Days
Phantom Glide replaces scraping, ironing, and shop visits with a quick base cleaning using the Phantom Glide Base Care Kit. The formula is made without PFAS.

Mounted And Ready To Go
When skis, bindings, and boots are purchased together, a Gearhead Expert mounts the bindings before the order ships.
