Atomic Cloud 9 (2009)
Skis like Atomic's Cloud series-built for women from the ground up-are the wave of the future. The 9 nailed every criterion, topping the category in Rebound Energy, Balance of Skills and Overall Impression. Testers loved it best on edge in precise slalom turns. A layered construction varies the flex: soft tip and tail for easy turn-initiation and exit, stiff underfoot for edge-bite on boilerplate. "I felt like Stein," said Thys. "Smooth, calm, refined."
