Atomic MAVERICK 115 CTI BUTTER/BLACK Alpine Skis

Designed for experienced skiers seeking thrills on challenging terrain, the Atomic MAVERICK 115 CTI is part of a line dedicated to freeriding, with a focus on powder and big-mountain skiing. With a waist width of 115 mm, this ski offers generous float in deep snow while maintaining reassuring, responsive handling across varied terrain. Its dual-rocker profile, combined with a classic central camber, gives it rare versatility for off-piste skiing. It’s designed for advanced skiers capable of harnessing its power and precision.

Freeride Program: Versatility in Demanding Mountain Conditions

The MAVERICK 115 CTI is designed for mountain adventures where conditions change rapidly: couloirs, steep slopes, groomed snow, or deep powder. Its unidirectional shape favors progression in a specific direction, reflecting a clear focus on aggressive downhill skiing rather than freestyle or bidirectional maneuvering. On big-mountain terrain, this ski supports skiers looking to link wide, committed turns without sacrificing maneuverability in tight spots.

Dimensions and radius: width designed for float

The tip/waist/tail dimensions of 139/115/128 mm (on the 177 cm model) define a generously wide ski, calibrated for float in fresh snow. The 17-meter turning radius on the 177-cm model is suited for medium-radius turns, ideal for large freeride arcs without being too restrictive in technical sections. In the 185 cm length, the radius increases to 18 m for even more stable trajectories at high speeds. These dimensions place the Atomic MAVERICK 115 CTI in a category of skis designed primarily for powder and open terrain.

Double rocker profile and classic camber: grip and float combined

The ski’s profile features a double rocker, with a pronounced rocker at the tip and a more subtle rocker at the tail, framing a central zone of classic camber. This combination allows the tip to glide naturally through deep snow without sinking, while the central camber maintains sufficient contact with the snow to generate power during turns. The raised tail, meanwhile, facilitates transitions and turn exits in heavy or groomed snow. This hybrid profile is particularly effective in the variable conditions found in the mountains.

CTI Construction: Wood, carbon, and titanal core for stability

The construction of the MAVERICK 115 CTI is based on several complementary elements, each offering the following specific benefits:

• Woodcore (poplar and ash): combines lightness and liveliness for a responsive ski underfoot.
• Carbon stringers: reduce overall weight and increase torsional stiffness, for precise response in turns.
• Titanal layer: provides stability at high speeds and improves shock absorption on hard or uneven snow.
• Dura Cap Sidewall construction: combines the advantages of a cap construction (lightweight) and a sidewall (power transfer), for balanced performance.

This entire design aims to strike a balance between agility and stability—two qualities that are often at odds in wide skis.

For an experienced skier who regularly skis off-piste and is looking for a reliable ski that performs equally well in deep powder and on groomed slopes, the Atomic MAVERICK 115 CTI is a logical choice. With a 115 mm waist width, a double rocker profile, and a carbon- and titanal-reinforced construction, this alpine ski is built for challenging days on the mountain and is available in 177 cm or 185 cm, depending on your body type and skiing style.
