Am I ready for the Atomic Maverick 105 CTI?

The Atomic Maverick 105 CTI is a 103.5 to 105 mm ski that feels easy-going overall. Here is where you stand against it, worked out from its published flex, radius and weight.

The short answer

Close

You are close. One thing to build first. On groomed snow its edge hold for your level is on the limit, and it is built more for soft and powder snow.

Assuming an intermediate skier at 80 kg (a typical adult, as no weight was given), on a 178 cm length. Verdict bands are Ready, Close and Not yet. Set your weight and level below, or fill in your lift ticket on the skis page.

Your weight and speed

Drag to see when the ski bends and when it doesn’t. Starts at a typical adult until you set yours.

Ability

Sets the usual speed (35 km/h) and edge angle (35°) the model uses.

  • NeutralLevel

    Assuming an intermediate skier at 80 kg (a typical adult, as no weight was given), on a 178 cm length.

  • HelpsFlex

    The flex is 1 times what your weight and usual speed bend, inside the 0.8 to 1.2 range that feels right.

  • HelpsMetal

    It feels easy-going overall.

  • HelpsSpeed

    It starts to bend around 20 km/h, and you usually ski around 35.

  • HelpsEdge

    Its 18 m sidecut turns at the radii you like without a high edge angle.

  • AgainstSnow

    On groomed snow its edge hold for your level is on the limit, and it is built more for soft and powder snow.

What to work on

  1. Snow. This ski is not at its best on groomed snow. It will be a better fit on the snow it is built for.
