Link 95 Skis

Designed for pow loving backcountry skiers who are willing to put in the miles to get the goods, the Black Diamond Link 95 ski is BD's versatile, mid fat touring ski that shines when weight and soft snow performance are equally important. A light paulownia wood core and pre preg fiberglass layup provide lightweight power transmission, and the Rocker tip and tail pay dividends on double digit days. To eliminate chatter, BD's Sidewall Dampening System uses a multi density sidewall panel just behind the contact point to create an ultra damp vibration barrier between the ski tip and the binding. The Link's stainless steel tail protector features a notch to secure your skin tail hardware.Sidewall Damping SystemTo bring the dampness of a freeride ski to a lightweight backcountry construction, BD employed a layer of rubber in the sidewalls of the ski, slightly behind the contact point. This innovative construction greatly reduces chatter in firmer conditions and allows them to forgo the use of metal in the layup, creating a ski that is extremely damp with drastic weight savings over traditional freeride constructions.
