Atomic Savage TI Skis with XTO 14 Protrak Bindings 2012 |
The Savage TI is back for another year of All-mountain dominance with a bright new face lift. Based on a 93mm waist the Savage Ti is a one ski quiver meant for aggressive and/or advanced skiers who ski everything because 93mm is wide enough to float in all but the deepest snow and still narrow and nimble enough to rail carves on hardpacked and dodge gapers. Enabling the Savage Ti crush everything in it's path a full wood core with a layer of titanium is used making the Savage Ti torsionally very stiff to provide amazing edge hold and light with a snappy response. Further amping up the Savage Ti is the Step Down sidewall construction which helps to manage the power of the Savage Ti allowing the tip and tail to be slightly forgiving without giving up any of the stability or edge hold. To max out the versatility the Savage Ti gets a giant slalom turn radius and Adaptive Rocker. When combined the slight tip rocker and more open turn shape let the Savage Ti smear and slash in softer snow and hookup instantly on hardpack allowing for huge variety in turn shapes from short to long. While the Savage Ti is a powerful ski that requires a skillful or powerful pilot it is very intuitive and responds to every command it receives, like a well trained dog the Savage Ti is ready to be your best friend.

Comments about Atomic Savage TI Skis with XTO 14 Protrak Bindings 2012:
Heartily endorse this ski. So many choices these days.
I am 210 lb., 6'2" 67 yo ex ski patrol, Dartmouth graduate, old fashioned powder skier taught by Alf, Junior, Eddie, McConk, Manny, & Bud at Alta. Prior skis in recent past: Atomic Metreon EX, R11. I like these skis that Atomic has developed for they are steady, not squirrelly and definitely all terrain. I ski the powder in slow motion, unweighting and floating down in endless time, making as many turns as possible; not the 3 or 4 turns directly down the fall line as the 120 mm fat board skiers do.
I tried the wide skis but the medial aspects of my knees hurt, and the fatter skis fail to sink as deep in the powder so that a different elated joy ensues. I do have bilateral knee osteoarthritis.
It is the only ski I use; actually I stash my new Savages at my Utah destination to avoid air baggage nonsense, and I use the Metreons for local Sierra skiing.
