Department of Goods Description: Black Diamond developed the Kilowatt Ski around a simple premise-make a ski that floats in the powder, turns easily in a tight couloir, and feels stable on hardpack. Starting with a CNC-machined wood core, Black Diamond gave the Kilowatt Ski a torsion box wrap to allow smooth tip-to-tail flex while maintaining torsional rigidity for edge control. A wide 95mm waist gives you tons of float in the freshies, while the 22.5m sidecut (175cm length ski) allows easy turn initiation in tight places. Powder Magazine editors were so impressed with this ski that they gave it their Skier's Choice Award. Mount the Kilowatt Ski with telemark or alpine touring bindings, and see how effortless backcountry powder days can be.

Awesome Ski - Use it everywhere | 
I ski the chugach mountains here in AK and I have Kilowatts in 185, I am 5'10 and 189 lbs. This ski holds on icy conditions, works great in powder, mixed crud is always tough but I go through it as well as with any ski I have ever skied, this is a GREAT all around ski. The only issue I have is new the tails edges stick (extra last grab) when coming out of a turn and keep cutting. Detuning the edges at the tails even by a half degree solves this, and makes these skis the best overall ski money can buy. If I was looking for a single all around ski, this is it!
