SKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKISKI!


I have a pair of Atomic ARC SL (200cm). I LOVE them! Provided I can stay
on top of them they are very fast and responsive. I find that once I get
tired they tend to run away with me, though.  I would say they're a bit
stiff for powder, but so far I've managed OK with them - not that we
get much powder here in CA! For bumps, groomed, and any steep stuff
they are fine - but don't forget that they are slalom, not GS, and so
like short turns more than long radius ones. I have had some near-
religious experiences with effortless rebounded short-swing turns
on them! As you might anticipate, I recommend them highly!
