Atomic Heaven 'n Hell
MSRP $749 flat
Dimensions 123-99-115
Category ranking No. 3
Average score 3.73
Heaven, because of the way it made 12 inches feel bottomless, and Hell because, well, it’s wicked fun. The category’s narrowest and most agile ski skimmed through fluff and bounced through tight trees. It’s a rockered ski, but, remarkably, it earned the category-high score for hard-snow versatility, thanks to a flat tail that powers turns on groomed. A powder ski without the snobbery, this ski will perform wherever you want to go. “It’s comfortable,” said Stokes. “You don’t have to overthink it.”
Best for AT bindings: It’s super lightweight.
Not for Overhead blower days: It’s the least floaty.
