Black Diamond Equipment Kilowatt Telemark/AT Skis

this is my second pair of BD skis. I love these! Great one quiver ski for those who can't have a fleet of skis. Turns quick, very stable, cuts through choppy snow easily, and handles great inthe pow!

Having a blast with these in New England!!! In mashed potatoes and small powder stashes found they are very nimble, incredibly forgiving, lets you dance around anything at various speeds. Exactly what I was looking for to compliment the other part of my quiver in my "NE ice skis" (refer to my Blizzard Supersonic G Force review). I was very surprized how airy the swingweight felt even though on the scale they were not extremely lightweight (but lighter than typical- FYI I'm 160lbs 5'7" w/167cm), though still stable at speed. As wicked stiff as they are, the edge grip on ice/ very hardpack was not there as hard as I tried but this was with factory off the shelf tuning, so maybe if I sharpened them a bit results would be different. But I won't complain about that as that's not why I bought them. Can't wait to try them so more.

So far, skiing well with a tele setup - a big improvement over some aging skis.

Perfect ski for a newcomer to the backcountry!!!

Great Ski. Light enough to tour in but stiff enough to still ski aggressive.
