Atomic

A rather aggressive, stiff ski that needs a lot of pressure when initiating the turn - but performs at the highest level if done.

Our partner Atomic is once again organizing the Rauris ski touring camp this spring. If you already have experience in ski touring, can easily master 1,200 meters of altitude or more and would like to deepen your knowledge in the area of ski mountaineering, then this is the right place to be for you. For three days, you will explore the peaks of the region with mountain guides and enjoy comfortable and well-catered accommodation at the Ammerer Hof. There are also opportunities to test next year's Atomic equipment, workshops & specialist lectures, company from Atomic athletes, professional photo footage of you skiing and a goodie bag worth 200 euros on top!

The ski that is suitable as a "one-ski quiver". Whether this is really the case and what the ultra-sharp edge is all about was tested in detail this winter.

Hard, harder, Hardboot. Is that possible off the rack? In the Splittie of the Week "Softboots for splitboarding", Till explains that the change from a conventional softboot to a special splitboard softboot is ultimately a way to a much stiffer snowboard boot. He writes that this change has taken his splitboarding to a new level. Features such as the Vibram sole, crampon mount and walk mode are side effects that every touring ski boot already have on their own. So why not go all the way?

During last year's ISPO 2024 in Munich, over 180 industry experts gathered at the second Ski Industry Climate Summit to work together on solutions for a more sustainable future for the winter sports industry. The event, largely organised by Atomic, was an impressive demonstration of how collaboration and innovation can drive climate protection forward. With a 25% increase in participants compared to the premiere in 2023, the summit proves that sustainability has become a key part for the industry.

After extensively testing the flagship model from Atomic's new freeride line launched last year and publishing the short test last season, here is the overdue, full-fledged gear review now. This time tested in the 185 cm length and in a wide variety of snow conditions. Certainly not as intensive as the FWT tests, but certainly representative.

With the Backland 109, Atomic has added a very wide, downhill-orientated ski in the Backland freetouring line. With the HRZN 3D on the shovel, it is reminiscent of the Bent Chetler series, but in terms of weight it is a Backland. We tested how the wide freetourer performs in action.

The most important piece of equipment when skiing, even before the safety half, is the complicated part that enables your legs and feet to connect to the gliding plates. Although all of the skier's movements are transferred to the skis via this connection and this influences the quality of the skiing, too little attention is usually paid to the exact fit for your feet.

The two outdoor brands Atomic and Arc'teryx are joining forces and presenting a limited edition Atomic Maverick 115 CTI in a special design. The Atomic x Arc'teryx Maverick 115 CTI was only produced 56 times in Europe, which are already been sold out - Atomic also only gave away two pairs in North America. Now you have the unique chance to win a pair of these skis exclusively on PowderGuide.com!

PowderGuide partner Atomic has provided us with the new Maverick freeride ski for testing. This is the short test of the Maverick 115 Cti, the flagship model, which has already been tested on the Freeride World Tour.

Ein wahrer Allrounder für all diejenigen, die gerne Touren gehen, aber bei der Abfahrt keine Kompromisse eingehen möchten.
