Atomic Maverick 95 Ti

An alternative to the mega playful Atomic Bent 100, the Atomic Maverick 95 Ti delivers powerful all-mountain performance across the mountain. According to the Google dictionary, a maverick is an unorthodox or independent-minded person. No matter how buried he may be under layers of normalcy, we all have some maverick in us. And this ski will bring it out. The Maverick 95 Ti is the most versatile of the Maverick series and our top pick. It's a rare ski that is light enough to save your quads from an early death or tour uphill while also featuring two sheets of metal in the build. Granted, those sheets are thin. But when you rail fast carves on groomers, the Maverick 95 Ti feels like a metal ski. It is predictable and intuitive and offers a solid platform in chop, mixed snow, and bumps. On the demandingness spectrum, it falls near the middle, between the lighter Elan Ripstick 96 and the burlier Salomon Stance 96. That means the Maverick 95 Ti feels exceptionally well-balanced across the entire mountain, and it can be confidently skied by intermediates through experts. Part of the reason? Well, Atomic essentially used a cheat code as they developed the Maverick. From the first phase of R&D, they had everyday Joe Shmoes testing prototypes and offering input, along with industry veterans. So, they already know this is a ski that most skiers absolutely love. The odds are high that you are one of those skiers. Similar skis: Rossignol Sender 94 Ti, Salomon Stance 96.
