I am a lover of all things Atomic (2 of 3 of my skis are Atomic). Graphics were relatively exciting as was the overall feel. I simply couldn't get over the overall performance which was not what I had expected.

Dislikes

I was the first to demo this ski at the Atomic booth at the 2011 SIA show. When I reported back to the tech, they stated that they had never received comments on chatter as I had experienced with the ski nor with difficulties initiating the turn. They were going to look into the tune which could have caused the issues. I'd give it another try as I have heard it is one of their top skis for the 2011/2012 season.
