Greetings everyone.
Two years ago I, as a northeast skier that tries to go out west occasionally, particularly when the snow is piling up, purchased Atomic Backland FR 109 skis for this very purpose!
But sheee***it, the size of these things are intimidating!
I've been skiing for about 9 years, mostly in the northeast, but I started going out west 5 or 6 years ago.
And in the last few years I have been intentionally waiting til the last minute to try to ride recent or ongoing snowstorms.
So my first ski to bring out west was the Nordica NRGy 100, and I have to admit the size of those intimidated me initially, being use to Salomon Rocker 2 90 skis, but it was a fairly easy transition I'd say...
But these Atomics are a whole other animal!
Do you think I'll easily "get the hang of them"?
I'm going to Schweitzer Mountain Resort in Idaho for 3 days this coming holiday weekend and I'm a little hung up on which skis to bring, but it looks like maybe these "un-christened" Atomics might finally be the logical choice!
I like easier off piste and easier tree skiing the most.
Thanks!
