The 190cm Atomic Big Daddy Alpine Ski owns the
light and white with a 125mm underfoot.
That’s
as wide as most fatties are at their tips! This
powder gun is a huge, solid charger for the
deepest days.
If you like skiing all things big,
then there is no other ski for you.
This is the best pure free-ride ski on the hill,
but it probably won’t be the only ski in your
quiver. That means when it dumps big, your
powder panic will double since you’ll be itching
to step onto the Big Daddy.
Atomic’s lightweight Beta 4 technology lends
amazing torsional rigidity without a compromise
on tip and tail flex, or longitudinal flex. What
this means is the Big Daddy floats over the
deeps without diving, and can still arc a GS
turn on the groomers or leftover chop. Novices
steer clear the Big Daddy was made for high
speeds and big lines.
Almost an SUV?
Definitely has an SUV personality. Take it off
groomed, especially in the powder, and watch it
do most anything easier than expected at almost
any speed. The 190cm length makes this ski a
little more versatile than it’s older models,
but it still takes some good power to ski.
If you venture on the groomed with the Big D’s,
be sure that you are going mach 3 or else they
won’t come around very easily because of the
minimal sidecut.
Its stability in high speeds make you feel
good…….and the flotation is awesome. You don’t
have to try it…..buy it.
