Tried these skis for five days. Very difficult to turn in, left ski performs differently than right ski. Feels like I'm dragging a concrete block.

It is lighter than my atomic carvers, and 95 percent as agile on the groomers even in icy or slushy conditions. I got the 174cm long, 105mm under foot. floated effortlessly in the snow around that was deeper than 4 inches. have nor got to try it in real pow yet. It is very stable at speed.

A true one ski quiver for the powder oriented all-mountain skier, Stable at speed with a wide range of turn shapes. Provides confidence in the crud with unwavering precision. Just enough rocker for plenty of float on the deep days.

Super versatile all-mountain sidecut. Perfect dimensions, good grip on hardpack. Width allows for float in the soft snow and crud.

Comments about Atomic Coax Skis 2012:

Balanced flex pattern with a huge sweet spot. At 105mm underfoot it's a true all mountain ski. The 22m radius turn allows for a wide open GS turn but it is right at home in short swing turns and steeps. Very playful and predictable and does not flinch at speed. A park performer as well.

Nice compromise ski. Carves well, easy to turn. Kind of light, but probably a lot of fun in powder. A little nervous on hardpack at speed. Holds well but shovel chatter from the rocker is weird.

Not bad as a tele ski. I have the 192, which are in the 181 range from contact to contact - the 192 is tip-to-tip along the ski. They are great for what you'd expect them to be great for - deep, chunks, crud. They smooth out crud and tracked snow like it's not there. The down side is that you've go to work them to get edge-to-edge fast, and on a jump-turn you can definitely feel the swing weight. I went long - maybe go a bit shorter to solve that, although you might sacrifice the deep performance. But all in all a much better all-arounder than I expected for a ski this size mounted as a tele ski. I think the adaptive camber does it's job on harder stuff, and they do fine on firm runs and a bit of scrape and are stable at high speed on runs. But you really want to hunt down the deep and crud to get that smile on your face....
