Daily-driver confidence with Impulse 98 Ti Ski—stable at speed, quick edge to edge
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“On firm mornings I can lay this ski over and it bites without chattering, then when the snow softens it’s lively and playful. The poplar core gives it energy, the titanal calms it down at speed, and the rocker/camber/rocker profile makes trees and bumps feel intuitive. It’s the one I reach for most days.”
Who It’s For
Advanced Intermediates to Experts:
If you want one ski to carve groomers, blast through late-day chop, and thread trees after a refresh, this balanced platform stays composed at speed yet feels quick and responsive.
What It’s For
All-Mountain Daily Driver:
A 98mm waist with rocker/camber/rocker grips on hardpack, pivots cleanly in tight terrain, and brings enough float for soft-snow laps between storms.
Why We Like It
Stability, Energy, and Edge Grip—All in One:
A lively poplar core pairs with elastomeric damping for smooth, confident turns, while a titanal sheet and full sidewalls send power to the edges. It feels trustworthy on ice yet still 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.
