Atomic 2012 Elysian Women's Powder Skis

Sale: $399.00

Atomic's Elysian skis are an excellent choice for all-mountain expert skiers. The solid wood core and full sidewall (at least full sidewall under your bindings) make this ski damp and stable, while the early rise tips and 'step-down' construction make initiating and releasing turns incredibly smooth and easy. The step-down construction is a method that makes the tips and tails pressed in a cap-style construction (which uses less material and is lighter/easier to flex), while the meat of the ski is given the full sandwich style construction (which makes the ski stiffer, stronger at high speeds and in chunky terrain)--what this does for the skier is gives the ski a poppy and lively feel in all conditions, and at almost all speed ranges (these are too stiff to go really slow all the time, and too expensive ;) ).
Appropriate ability levels. The L9 Listers say: Weekend Warrior The L9 team says: Powder Hound Products Video

Free Binding Mounting. Please choose your binding from the dropdown list on this page, other bindings may not be compatible.

Free L9 Poles: A little love from L9 to you in the form of a free composite Levelninesports.com ski pole. A comparable pole retails for $60 and we sell these for $24 normally. This free pole is for a few select skis as a little sweetener on the already lowest price.

Ideal Target Skier: Weekend Warrior/Charger: These skiers were once upon a time ski bums, or very proficient skiers in college, then landed an internship that led to a 70 hour work week and a spouse and 2.5 kids. They are still great skiers, and ski hard every chance they get on steeps, moguls, powder... whatever they can get their hands on.

Skier Ability: Advanced to Expert: Skipping the blue runs to get to the black runs, but sometimes a little cautious when it gets very steep, or some hesitation when your buddy says, ''You just have to clear those rocks or else you're toast.''

Adaptive rocker is a slight rise in the tip of the ski when the ski is weighted, for easy turning, no edge catching and better lift in soft snow.

Speed: Fast: At this speed, these skiers are passing most of the others on blue square runs, and keeping up with most skiers on black diamond runs.


Wood Core: The standard core which has throughout time provided the best performance and durability. Each model may have it's own density level to help define flex and maximum speed but every wood core ski will be solid.


Step Down Sidewall Construction: This ski features Cap construction at the tip and tail for added durability and to reduce topsheet chipping, and has Sandwich construction underfoot for greater edge hold and power through the turns. Its the best of both worlds, a stiff rigid ski where it needs to be, and a soft and turnable ski where it doesn't.

Twin tip skis: are where its at these days. Their versatility allows you to ski powder in the morning, bumps at midday, and session the park in the afternoon. The turned up tail is also optimal for skiing backwards (switch), but for most people, it just looks cool.
