Atomic BENT 90 Alpine Touring Skis

Picking the correct ski size?

There is no one size for one height and weight. The general rule is to pick a ski that is going to land somewhere between your chin and the top of your head. Within your size range there are multiple reasons to choose a shorter or longer ski.

Reasons for Shorter Ski’s, closer to your chin:

• beginner or intermediate skier
• Your weight is lighter than average for your height
• You like to make short, quick turns

Reasons to size your skis longer, closer to the top of your head:

• skiing fast and aggressively
• You weigh more than average for your height
• The majority of your skiing off the trail
• Skis have significant rocker in the tip

A shorter ski will be easier to turn yet not as stable as a longer ski. A carving ski with a skinnier waist and a smaller turn radius can be skied at a shorter length than an all mountain or a freeride ski with larger, longer turn radius and fatter waist width.

Beveled tip and tail with 10% more surface area for float and playful performance, and lower weight.

Minimal tail rocker for more edge contact creating better grip and stability.

Poplar wood core optimizing the ski’s weight without sacrificing any shock absorption or stability.

Sidewall from base to top sheet for great edge grip, with a rounded shape for increased durability.

A thicker edge offers sturdiness and greater durability for repeated stone grinds.
