Containing noticeable performance deficiencies or poor manufacturing qualities or horrendous aesthetics. Straightforwards, innocuous and utlilitarian. 70-79: An average pair of skis with little distinction except that they are soundly made. Displaying few flaws within their category but perhaps a little "undermined" in terms of quality of manufacture, limits of performance or poor aesthetics.
90-95: An outstanding ski with superb performance and character but perhaps lacking on-the-limit performance or slightly below par graphics. Skis of this caliber are worth a special effort to find and ride. Graphics, finish, manufacturing quality and performance are of the highest order. Ski Rating New for 2008/09 we have decided to rate each ski with a score of up to 100 - 96-100: An extraordinary ski displaying all the attributes expected of a ski of its variety. A ski will be tested over two runs unless they are "bloody awful" and Chris "would prefer to walk down the slope." A first, "get to know you" run will involve some slower turns to feel how the ski responds at lower speeds building up to test the skis limits in the conditions specific to the manufacturers fabrication and intentions over the final phase of the first and throughout the second run. The vast majority of skis reviewed are tested directly by Chris although several freestyle or womens skis may be reviewed by fellow testers who are better suited to a specific category. Chris brings an insightful and informed, amusing, lighthearted yet accurate approach to the latest developments within the ski industry. Chris has experience from ski racing to ski sales, ski testing to development, training and pretty much most forms of work within the industry.

Total control over the ski is ensured by the Mono Torsion Bars and the Magnesium Power rods.
For skiers who like to race the slope as fast as possible but appreciate a more civilised skiing style. The SX 10 screams to be noticed, it is loud to behold, demands to be ridden fast and loves nothing more than a race to a cafe for apres ski.Īn excellent piste-performance ski for the advanced skier or thrill seeking & very sporty intermediate.The manufacturer says this about the Atomic SX 10 Skis 2009: If a ski could be non-PC this would be one. The SX 10 is not the most sophisticated ski in Atomic's range but it is a heap of fun, a great medium-radius carver, quick off the mark and built for guys who have just parked up their Subaru and are more interested in 0-60 times than "saving the whale!" This ski loves to go fast, hurtling down reds and smooth blacks with abandon. A perennial favourite with many a red run hooligan.
