Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd.

S K I S
Black Diamond designs skis that perform on the descent because even though “the up” is character building, it’s really all about “the down.” Our Dual Torsion Bow technology sends the power to the edges and establishes controlled torsional rigidity with smooth balanced flex patterns. C-Matrix construction—a hard-hitting blend of vaporized metal alloy and woven fiberglass—is employed to create the liveliest skis possible without adding weight. The reward? Our new ski line continues the progression of uncompromising performance with tools catering to a variety of skiing styles and conditions.

It's All About the Down
