The Atomic company offers equipment for numerous disciplines of snow skiing. As of 2010, Atomic specializes in alpine and Nordic skis. Atomic has remained a prominent producer of snow skis since the company was founded in the mid 1950s. According to Atomic, certain models of Atomic skis can have up to 300 individual working components. Atomic utilizes lightweight building materials including carbon, wood, titanium and magnesium.
Most manufacturers specify base and edge angles for all of their skis. Tuning to the factory edge angle for the make, model and year of the ski ensures that the ski will not be damaged and optimum performance will be obtained. Atomic models have a base edge of one degree and a side edge of three degrees. Modifying factory angles may be an option to suit the needs of beginner skiers or racers. Regularly tuning skis will keep them in top condition as well as improve your personal performance.
Atomic introduced a revolutionary new technology with the D2 Vario Cut ski, first released for the 08/09 winter season. Skiers actually alter the turn radius of the ski by applying more or less pressure to the ski in the turn. The tip and tail of the ski are split with a rubber strip that widens when stronger pressure is applied to the ski, increasing its turn radius to that of slalom ski (11.5 meters). When less pressure is applied to the ski by the skier, the rubber strip remains unstretched, maintaining a GS turn radius (17.5 meters).
The Atomic Supercross (SX) series ski is made for experienced riders. It was designed for alpine racers but can be used all over the mountain. Atomic is a popular, trusted ski company. Their skis are well respected. The Supercross comes in different styles and lengths.
Based in Altenmarkt, Austria, Atomic Skis has over 50 years of experience designing and making skis. With ski offerings for everyone from the beginner to the professional, you can choose from skis designed for all kinds of mountain conditions when you buy Atomic skis.
