All Things Atomic

[Philpug]

Thought I would only do a run or two on these. But they were so much fun in the powder, packed powder and ice that was scattered around Crystal Mountain today. A 210 GS ski can be surprisingly versatile! View attachment 96001

Still one of my favorite Atomic graphics.

9-18 from 2002ish.. I’d still ski them but the binding have been recalled in 2013ish. Seems foolish to use recalled gear as a daily driver. I’ll take them out for a few easy runs... ma be...

I found this sticker in with some non skiing paperwork and thought I would share it.

Is 20 years old enough to be retro?

Sorry, this is how I communicate skiing these days...

A little different flavor for the early century Atomic line up

Are those TRs?

No. Rotamat with brakes from about 1979. I think they called them FD. The toe is the m4-15. Set very soft, probably din 4 equivalent. Held me in perfectly until I hit a steep mogul incorrectly. Atomic ski was a dream on packed powder and ice.

For the Atomic collector I offer this pair of GS 9.21 Beta Race skis in 180 cm length and 17 m radius.
Not a race model, but a high end carving machine. From about 2004. Equipped with Atomic 916s.

Free. You pay shipping only. It was about $25 by USPS the last time I shipped a similar sized pair. These might be a touch heavier so a bit more expensive to ship. I tuned these putting a fresh grind and 1/2 bevels on them.

Hey guys, thanks for letting me in!
Does anyone recognize these bindings? Are they Atomic? There’s nothing to tell me a model or manufacturer, only the “made in Austria” on the slide cover. There’s nothing on the skis either. I believe they are 1980’s vintage along with the BMW Motorsport livery skis (several ski manufacturers made limited editions for BMW, which I collect and restore in some cases)

The toe looks like a Marker but that heel, I don't know anything that looks like that one.

How about a pair of Atomic Powder Magic from 1988. These bad boys were 115mm underfoot!

Thought I’d share these with you retro Atomic fans!! These are new old stock, sat in someone’s garage as just planks still in plastic, never mounted until now. Bindings are modern. Sourced in Japan and will reside permanently in Nagano area.

Atomic ARC. Other words include: “HY-Vitronic”, “High Mechanic”, “Racing Kevlar HV”. Even more technical mumbo jumbo in the base (which literally still glows in light snow). I have no clue what the words even mean! But I’m loving the colors and the top sheet graphics.

I measured the skis to be 82 64 76 at 185 cm. What would that radius be?!

I tried to do a more artistic photo for the third one. Enjoy the throwback and Happy Valentine’s Day!

Yes, about what we expected from a teenage/light person length like 185cm.

My 205cm ARC 535s were more like 65-70m.
