Atomic Blog Skis 2012

ski: 185cm Blog mounted on the team line with atomic ffg 16 bindings.
tester: 5'10" 155lb PNW pow hunter.
The blogs are just easy to ski in every condition. Ideal for traveling because of their all mountain versatility. My first day on the blogs it was storming 6'' new on crust. I missed the float of the bent chetlers but the increased edge contact was nice for the hard stuff underneath the pow. The skis were ideal for packed powder and slushy snow. I especially enjoyed the edge to edge quickness while billy goating down tight chutes at Squaw. The blogs are not pow skis, not chargers, and not carving skis, but they do all these things quite well. I would recommend them for a quiver of one or an all mountain traveling ski.

The Atomic Blog comes back for another year with a fresh graphic. For me this is the perfect all mountain ski. A small amount of rocker tip and tail just a little taper and tons of pop. It is the perfect addition to a rockered pow ski. At 110mm in the waist it skis all over from junk and crud,to groomers to the park. I think it will be awesome in the spring time too. The flex is nice, it has a lot of rebound,snap and energy. I think it would be the ski to take on a trip, not knowing what the conditions may be like it will still be a blast on whatever they are.

Grew up in the park? Want to ski pow? this skis will take you there! Supple tip and tail for buttering that pillow line you have been drooling over.

The Blog is a "no surprises" ski. It skis a range of snow predictably. It is loose when you want it. It'll go up on edge when you want it. I'm a 210lbs, 55 years old enthusiastic off piste skier and for my weight it didn't want to be pushed "too hard" While this is a nice ski I think the BentChetler is a better for as a deep PNW ski.

Conditions were 1" of fresh over sun affected snow. The ski performed well both on and off the groomers.

The Atomic Blog is fast! I can fly through crud and carve on groomers. A really fun ski but I wish it was a little more playful in the tips and tails. A little too stiff for me.

Great ski for a daily driver but this ski gets BAD tip dive. I normally mount at +5 but on this I've had to go back at about 1cm behind team centre (about 6cm back from where i normally like). Great in the powder once you know how to control the tip dive. I've had to adjust the way i ski a little in the deep stuff. Great charger though and works well in all conditions. A great single ski quiver.

I use the Blog mostly for trips where I am uncertain of the ski conditions, mostly in the alps. I have used this ski in powder and on days were I was skiing mostly groomers. This ski works really well in powder as it gives you great float and a nice pop and ease when skiing powder, although it does feel like it lacks float when in really deep powder. This ski completely blew me away on the groomers I was expecting average, more like it would be ok to ride on groomers but you wouldn't want to a lot. They are actually great on groomers with a suprising amount of edge hold. If I had more choice as to when I went skiing and what the conditions would be like I may have gotten the Bent Chetlers but the Blogs are great as an all mountain ski.

For those that like a ski that can do it all, but don't want to ride a 120mm waisted ski every day, the Blog will do it all. Like its bigger brother, the Bent Chetler, the Blog is powerful and playful everywhere. It has a great combination of camber underfoot, rocker in the tip and tail, and some early taper to make it easy it turn and that much smoother in powder. If you only want to own one ski to do everything, put this at the top of your list.
