In a category filled with supercharged skis, the Atomic Theory blew testers away with its ability to shred turns. One tester said, “It rails turns like a MF,” while another said it was “quick and nimble in turns, side to side and in the air.” The Theory’s shape remains the same this year, with rocker in the tip and tail and traditional camber underfoot, a trend with a lot of all-mountain skis. The Theory also packs a woodcore for stability, durability and a carbon backbone to increase its responsiveness. If you’re looking for a ski that’s “easy to ski and rips right out of the gate,” then you’ll like the Atomic Theory.
