The new Atomic Vantage 97 C W is an excellent ride for the intermediate to advanced skier who will be dividing their time evenly between the groomed piste and ungroomed terrain. The 97mm waist feels edgy and quick when you are carving it up, with awesome floatation when things get deep. Atomic's new Prolite Technology redesigns the manufacturing process from the ground up by starting with ultra-light materials, and then adding reinforcements only in strategic areas to deliver an ultra-lightweight ski that is packed with performance. The Energy Backbone is a reinforcement added through the spine and above the edges that drive power right to the snow. A Carbon Tank Mesh uses woven fibers of Carbon to add even more strength while reducing the weight even more. Rocker in the tip and tail allows for great powder skiing, while quick and easy turns on the frontside of the mountain.
