A very cool ski forum!
Hi guys! I just found a very cool ski/snowboard forum!!!
http://forums.epicski.com/index.php
You can find Ski/Snowboard technique or the review of gears. Here is one of the review about Atomic SX-10, but you will find more in the forum. :cool:
================================
Skis: Atomic SX:10m Puls ti
Bindings: Atomic Neox demo's
Boots: Lange Pininfarina 307 mm
Conditions: Man made snow full coverage.
Temp: -8 C to -5 C.
Location: Rabitt Hill, AB
Skier: Level 7 - 8 (0-10 scale) 5' 10", 140 - 150 LB
Just got out today for the first time of the year at our local hill. Not much of a hill but good enough for first runs and working the cobwebs out.
Picked up some very slightly used 160 CM Atomix SX10's with Demo Atomic bindings. I was purposly shopping for a fairly high end Slalom ski to keep me entertained at the local small hill while my daughter took lessons and something to challenge me on technique and form as well as a tool to take lessons on and possbily take my CSIA Level I
This was the first time I had ever skied on a high end carving ski.
My first impression after a few runs was Holy Crap these hold an edge. I have skied this hill for most of my life and know very well what to expect for most conditions there. Today was 99% man made snow with only 4 hours of being open to the public on it, yet it was very firm but with some depth to it.
Normally I would expect a ski to wash out when pushed onto very hard. Normally one could gingerly lay an edge down and ride it through without alot of washing out, but when pushed it would wash away.
Not with these. I tried for all I was worth, I turned up hill as hard as I could, I went as fast as I dare (with one million kids all over the place) they just knifed across the hill and held held held.
I learnt the joys of what so many have commented on about "pressuring the tails on turn exit" Woo hoo now that is fun stuff.
Found them pretty forgiving, didn't seem to me to be a "better be paying 100% attention" ski, it seemed to forgive, or at least let me get away with, some bad form and technique. I didn't get left feeling as though I was fighting them or continually chasing myself to catch up to them.
They like to be ridden hard and aggresive, as expected, but is there any really any other way to ski ?
Was able to ski them in a Groomer cat track that had a chance to freeze overnight and found them to be pretty damp, more damp than I was expecting.
At the shorter length I found I didn't have to try and work the tips as much for turn initiation as with my 177's (Rossi and 8800's). I found a very centered and upright stance to work the best allowing effortless edging and a nice balance point. I found a tendency to want to lean back, or perhaps being placed back somehow and as mentioned above when this happens the ski just jet right out from under you and feel as though they went airborne. You learn quick to not do that  .
I think a old sales slogon of TOYOTA sums up rather nicely. O what a feeling ! I now kick myself for not buying some high end carving skis a long long time ago. Any of you that are hesitating or thinking of doing so. I highly recommend it. You can't even imagine what you are missing.
I'm looking forward to alot of fun and learning on these, in fact I am drooling over the thought of taking these to the Marmot Basin and letting them run, do some bumps and am enthused at how they may even handle some off piste stuff.
More to come as I spend more time on them, but so far I am very happy with my purchase and agast of what I have been missing all these years.
