Fischer Atua (2007)

Crisp and carveable on hard snow in medium-radius turns. Softer tips deflect in crud and hard, uneven snow, but rise up easily in powder. gripes: Ski them fast in powder, but slow down on hard snow; the hooky tips tended to catch and release several times during a long arc. props: Thoughtless turn initiation. tester’s take: "Positively charged and perfectly laid-back, these are powder-seeking missiles." —Andi Malboeuf
