Waist widths range from 86 mm down to 76 mm. The manufacturer says this about the Atomic Nomad Highnoon Skis 2009:Įxtremely light, versatile ski with optimal performance characteristics on all-terrain, and every type of snow. Where the Vantage series of wider skis offers soft-snow versatility especially appropriate to Western all-mountain conditions, Atomic’s Nomad collection is built for maximized on-trail performance and hardpack carvability well suited to Eastern conditions. In all a very good ski with lots of plus points – its price, weight, undoubted versatility in terms of snow conditions and terrain – but to be fair it floated my boat less so than the Crimson or Blackeye – guess if you are looking for a cruisy compromise then head for the Highnoon, I’d rather head for the Blackeye or at least the superlative Highnoon Ti version.Ī very good pair of all-round skis for the intermediate to advanced recreational skier. Sporting, relative to its waist, both a narrower tail and waist the Highnoon is a highly versatile ski aimed at the adventurous intermediate to advanced skier who – well I guess prefers to skid than carve.Īs the tail is narrower there is less grip towards the end of the turn in the sense of a carve, this ski is designed so that you can “feather” your speed by skidding and scraping your skis over the snow rather than using the turn shape or arc to slow you down. The Highnoon sits at third in Atomic’s versatile and cost-effective Nomad range.
