Atomic GS:9

Strengths:
Stable at higher speed and in long turns. However, it seems to have a tendency to lose grip in a bit steeper hill with hard surface. However, this was a rental slope which is not always exactly the same as maybe the edges might not be top. Otherwise a very good skiing. Preferably, Supercross 10 and 11.

Weaknesses:
Fewer grip on hard surfaces when it burns. A little hard to ride the wall when it's hard ground.

Summary:
Affordable ski, but I would rather buy Supercross 10 or 11.

Riding style: Piste
Length on the ski: 170 cm
Riders weight: 95 kg
Riders length: 177 cm

Poor, but flattering and good-natured in the piste for me who is a big strong. Recommend Supercross 11 instead.

After a lot of years of full-length skiing, most carving slopes of this kind feel quite flattery at higher speeds. The GS9 is, however, quite OK and really fun, as it gets a little bit trickier, puckering and not completely finished on the manchestra.

The ice grip gets approved and more than that in shorter turns. However, I must probably lower the impression a snap when it comes to high speed characteristics in long turns and "full speed performance".

Went on this skiing for half a day in Tandådalen on hard artificial snow and thus finds that the ski has a racing similar character with a clear kick from the turns and a good ice grip. The kick is not as easily controlled as you would have liked for a pair of "grand slalom skiing", the radius is around 15-17 meters, placing the ski in the middle of the big slalom and slalom carver. Ports, but "back" on the skis out of turn, it is very difficult to get back into the next turn, which can result in poorer cuts and ffa that the skis go elsewhere than their own will. In some brighter parts, the ski tends to fold, pushes the ski and the ski drops with the track. In some flatter parts, there is no problem and the ski tracks are all the way. In a peculiar "short magnitude slope", the skid feels as fast-paced and subdued, turning to larger turns, the ski is more nervous. Imagine that the ski is equally nice in a bit looser conditions, but I do not mind it. I as a test drive ski is a former competitor where the parade was just the grand slalom. I like to ride great slings on a real cut and quick repositions "3/4 turn into brighter parts"

The price of around 5000: - with skis and ties seems very valuable for a ski with so much life. Suitably in Sälen and Åres artificial snow slopes, where it is rarely allowed space for fast super G swings. Heavier skiers might perceive the skide differently, I do not know anything about, just a little feeling.

Bought these after testing through a large number of skis in Sälen 2003. I drive 170 cm, have been skiing for almost 30 years and have good technique.

The GS9 works perfectly in both long and short turns in pistons and is both quick and easy to beat, good speed and good icebreaking. Lightweight with the right technology. Reminds a lot about Atomics SX11 which usually gets high grades. Is it okay, too?

Should you drive off-piste, make the slim layout on the skirt (<65 mm waistline) and stiffness that you have neither bearing nor compassion in looser conditions.

Like all-round pistachio, it gets 5 in grades, and overall it gets a 4th, when the outside-piste features only get a 2nd.
