Strengths:
Powder Fast extremely stable and maneuverable. Excellent for aggressive fast soft lines with cliff stomping.
Weaknesses:
Difficult to ski with style in icy bumps. Much impact on the body in harder maritime snow. Hard to get into the powder for faceshots.
Summary:
Having ridden the arg and the bubba as my daily drivers for years I switched to an atomic bent chetler. I pulled my bubbas out of storage yesterday after a 3 foot storm cycle. I skied them the first half of the day. They make everything seem so easy. They come alive over 30mph and are stable and damp in the 40. Much more of a ski than the arg, which was more lightweight with less usable edge. I do enjoy the insane speed and stability these skies provide, however getting under the snow is difficult.

Strengths:
Unbelievably playful and fun in forests as well as open spaces. Powerful rocker gives a beautiful flow, while they almost swing themselves by the short span! An incredibly good fetting ski when it's getting a big deal! At the same time, in poor conditions, carva can be stressed as a change in the piste.
Weaknesses:
They are very soft, so in tougher conditions, they are nothing to recommend. Ostabila at high traffic.
Summary:
An incredibly good ski that I am very pleased with! Works for me as an allmountain ski as it takes place in both piste and all kinds of terrain. If you go very aggressively, this is probably not the ski for you, but if you're a medium-sized rider with a taste for powder crossing and at the same time do not want to get rid of the transport distances, this is the ski for you.
Is medium-sized rider who gets about 20 days of racing per season. The skis are tested for about 20 days in everything from Hemsedal to Mayrhofen.
