With the continued success of the Automatic, Atomic decided to expand the platform to two additional widths. The new Atomic Automatic 102 skis and the Atomic Automatic 109 skis adopt the same pattern introduced by the original 117 with a relaxed flex in the tail that gets the skier out front, charging down the hill. “It really is automatic!” exclaimed one tester. “Super easy to ski yet burly enough not to get knocked around.” At the heart of the ski is a lightweight, poplar wood core that will appeal to people who are looking for a ski that will do well both in and out of bounds.
