Atomic Blackeye Ti—with bindings

Yes…this is an alpine ski—a superlative, wood-core, titanium reinforced all-mountain downhill ski—prized for its agility in all terrain and snow conditions. Two titanium inserts increase torsional rigidity, and in conjunction with the Step Down sidewalls, transfer every last shred of power directly to the slope, delivering optimum edge grip and precise tracking. The Blackeye Ti is ideal for athletic all-mountain skiers who demand lively power transmission and precise edge grip on-piste, yet still expect excellent gliding characteristics in soft snow. Atomic XTO 12 integrated bindings allow the ski to flex naturally for outstanding edge control, and bump absorption, and its computer measured DIN settings adjust from 4 to 12. Profile: 125.5-82-110.5 (174-cm.) Radius: 16.

The Smoke is ideal for strong intermediate skiers, and newcomers looking for a quality all-mountain ski that will slay with hem as their skiing skills develop.

Atomic Affinity Pure—with bindings

The innovative Affinity Pure is an ideal all-mountain Alpine ski for women, being perfect for both on-piste and powder snow adventures: Women Flex Zones influence the flex of the ski to varying degrees, maximizing smoothness and ski control. The V-shape of the Affinity Pure has two benefits: the broad shovel delivers optimum lift while the narrow tail makes it even easier to carve turns. And, thanks to its Adaptive Rocker, this ski also performs supremely in virgin snow. All of which makes the Affinity Pure ideal for advanced and athletic female skiers who want one ski to do everything—well. Atomic XTO 10 Lady integrated bindings allow the ski to flex naturally for outstanding edge control, and bump absorption, and its computer measured DIN settings adjust from 3 to 10.

Backcountry Touring

Madshus Annum

For some years there has been a need for a wide, stable waxless ski that could be used by climbers for approaches and descents, and by Telemark touring skiers who wanted to avoid getting bogged down spending inordinate amounts of time fussing with adhesive skins when touring on varied Winter terrain. Enter the Swiss Army knife of backcountry skis, the Madshus Annum: a carbon reinforced solid wood-core, single cambered, metal-edged ski with plenty of width for good floatation, lots of side-cut for excellent turnability, and a weight that’s 2-3 lbs. lighter than much of what’s being sold as backcountry skis these days. The Tele / touring population will gravitate toward the G-3 Targa, or Rottefella Chili bindings, and light / moderate weight plastic boots on these skis, while climbers will need to install the “fits everything” versatility of the Silvretta 500 bindings. Note: this is an “improved” version of the venerable Karhu Guide of a few years ago. Profile: 109-78-95. Weight: 2622 gr. (185-cm.)

$ 370.00

Special Price: $ 329.95

Madshus Epoch

The Epoch is a waxless metal-edged touring ski that’s designed to turn effectively on moderate descents, and move efficiently on flat and rolling terrain. The deep side-cut of the ski intimates turns easily, while the substantial width promotes stability and floatation in soft, loose snow. The Epoch has more positive camber than the Madshus Annum (see above), and will be bit more effective at “kick-and-glide” touring than the wider, flatter, more Alpine-cambered ski. Note: this is an “improved” version of the venerable Karhu Guide of a few years ago. Profile: 99-68-84. Weight: 2530 gr.

$ 340.00

Special Price: $ 299.95

Atomic Rainier

With a torsionally rigid structural cap, wide 87-mm. shovel, 27-mm. of side-cut, and an efficient kick-and-glide waxless base, the Rainier has all the ingredients necessary to tour and turn equally well. The Garmont Excursion (see boot section) is recommended for optimum performance with the Rainier. Profile: 87-60-78.
