The 2021 Atomic Vantage 97 C is a highly versatile all-mountain ski designed for intermediate to advanced skiers who want a lightweight yet stable option for exploring various snow conditions, from groomed runs to light powder and trees. Its revolutionary Prolite Construction starts with a slim profile and strategically reinforces key areas with an Energy Backbone and Carbon Tank Mesh, resulting in a ski that is strong, responsive, and exceptionally light. This carbon version offers a more forgiving and playful feel compared to the "Ti" (Titanal) model, making it less fatiguing for quick movements in varied terrain.
The ski features an All Mountain Rocker profile (15% tip rocker, 75% camber, 10% tail rocker), providing easy turn initiation, good float in softer snow, and reliable edge grip on hardpack. The Full Sidewall ensures precise steering and direct power transmission, while the Light Woodcore made from poplar optimizes weight without sacrificing shock absorption or stability. The high-density sintered Atomic Base is designed for speed and readily accepts wax, and the Atomic Edges are five times more wear-resistant than standard steel, ensuring durability and grip.
Conditions:
Based on the provided rating system from Barrie's Outlet, here's how to interpret the condition of these used skis:
Top Sheet Condition 7.5: The top sheet will have minor scratches on the graphic, as well as some light chips on the top layer of the ski. These are cosmetic and will not affect the performance of the ski.
Base Condition 8: The base will have some noticeable scratching on some or most of the base. These scratches and scuffs could be removed with a fresh tune without the need for any P-TEX repairs. There is no deep gouging or pitting on the base currently, and there may be minor P-TEX repairs from the past that do not need further work.
All skis listed by Barrie’s Outlet are fully functional with no compromising damage to the ski or bindings, and they have been freshly waxed to be ready for use.
