Atomic Skis 2021 Review: A Fun All-Mountain Option

When it comes to Atomic skis, you might expect them to be serious and demanding. But the 2021 models are a different story altogether. They're light, playful, and fun - perfect for creative skiers who want to have a blast on the whole mountain.

In optimal conditions, these skis feel great. They're easy to turn and responsive, making them a joy to ride. However, when the conditions get tough, they can be a bit finicky. The edge hold is decent, but not exceptional - especially on icy slopes. But that's okay, because these skis are designed for all-mountain riding, not just carving up the groomers.

One of the standout features of the Atomic skis is their rocker profile in the tip and tail. This makes them incredibly easy to butter and smear, making them a blast in the park or the woods. And with their soft tips and tails, they're perfect for throwing tricks and playing around off-piste.

Of course, not every skier will love these skis. They're definitely better suited for creative skiers who want to have fun on the whole mountain, rather than serious all-mountain chargers. And if you plan to spend a lot of time in the park, you might find that they're not durable enough - my pair has already developed a problem with the steel edge after just 12 days.

But for most skiers, these skis are a great option. They're lightweight, easy to spin around, and perfect for playing in the woods or buttering up some fresh powder. Just be aware that they do prefer softer snow on the piste, and can get a bit sluggish in messy terrain.

Overall, the Atomic skis 2021 are a fun and playful option for creative skiers who want to have a blast on the whole mountain. They're not perfect, but they're definitely worth trying out if you're looking for a new ski that will keep you entertained all day long.
