Atomic Beta Race 18537

Advantages: A amazing ski to many adavntages.A perfect ski for any ability.
Disadvantages: NONE

...Well I bought these ski's at Snow and Rock in Sheffield and when I first used them in the half pipe (carving,steeps,new school,race there good for all) they were really responsive and the stiffness add's to the excellent qualities. Then I took them to Val Thoren at Easter and one cruisy blue's and reds they were so responive and had such a great turn radius and on black runs and off piste they are so agile. The price is perfect I got mine for £200 and put some off my own bindings on. They are a wonderful ski for intermediates, and experts alike. Carving,speed,off piste,crusing and new school there great. Definatly worth considering for this sesaon.A must buy for any improving skiiers. David Baird... Read review

Advantages: Extreme Performance!
Disadvantages: Demands to be worked hard, not for lazy cruising, pricey

...the weight of the ski. This is an aggresive ski that demands to be driven hard. It is a wonderful carver with good edge performance from start to finish and a powerful tail to end your turns. The ski sports some of the same technologies as Atomics Beta Race series and this shows once you get the into the skis sweet spot and it does everything you ask of it. This ski is not designed for cruising or lazing around, you really won't get the most out of it that way. Treat it right and it's lots and lots of fun.... Read review

Advantages: Great for progressing from basic principals in the park and on the piste.
Disadvantages: Not as durable as one might expect from a beginner's board.

...I bought this board two seasons ago as an upgrade from the rental gear i was previously used to. As a beginner i found this board met all my needs, Atomic's edges helping me feel secure in my turns and confident to try everything a little faster than before. As i progressed i found the board to be light and flexible enough to try a few tricks, namely hurling-self-into-powder air as it's commonly known. It's been classified as a freestyle board pretty much every where i've seen it but i found that it rides well all over the mountain, piste, park, powder and most importantly the lift queue. I've managed to damage the tail edge a little, not sure if it was due to my mistreatment or just low durablility but the damage is superfical and doesnt effect the performance at all.... Read review
