Alice is off for a week soon and dropped off her Atomics for a quick once over.
I’ll admit that I like Atomic skis a lot. They are one of the few ski manufacturers that unashamedly ship skis with 1 degree base & 3 degree side bevels – the golden ratio according to many of the EpicSki forum gurus – they make nice sharp top sheet designs that don’t age too quickly and the tops tend to be made of resistant tough plastic that doesn’t look terrible once it’s been skied over a couple of times. On top of all that they tend to stick to nice, easy to service black bases too. And, finally, they claim to make their skis in Austria rather than China or Vietnam like a lot of the other manufacturers. None of which really matters to Alice who can now look forward to some effortless gliding on her two coats of Dominator wax for a week.
John – Thank you so much for the quick turnaround, knowledgeable approach to my ski service and speedy responses when organising drop-off/collection. You have definitely enlightened me on skiing engineering and I’ll be taking a keen interest in future! I’ll try and give you more of a job to do with them after my holiday in January! Many thanks again, will be in touch in the new year. All the best, Alice.
