Atomic Ritual (2013)
Tester's Review
The Ritual is the fattest of Atomic's new all-mountain Vantage series, which includes the Alibi, Theory, and Panic. Testers loved the rock-solid feel on hardpack and its stiff, "cliff-stomp-friendly" tail. Tip and tail rocker makes it maneuverable though it takes some muscle. Intermediates might feel overpowered, but one strong East Coast tester called it "athletic and daring, a fun ski that attacks the fall line."
PRICE (MSRP): $879.00
