 This is a product overview for the women's Atomic Vantage 90 CTI. It's just as good on-piece as it is off to the side and it's one of those skis that is truly versatile. It used to be the old mounted skis were a bit of a compromise, but this one really isn't. This uses Atomic's carbon tank mesh. You can just about see it through the top sheet graphic, but what it does it provides a carbon weave over the top sheet that just gives the ski a little bit more umpt. But without adding the extra weight that something like a metal laminate might do. As a softer nose compared to previous versions, that just means that it provides a more forgiving ride. It's slightly easier to use in softer snow and has a decent amount of rocker that makes skiing powder a breeze. It uses Atomic's firewall sidewall. You see it's got this chunky construction underneath the foot. It just provides it with a little bit of added stability and grip on firm snow. Testers loved how versatile they were. Most of them expected them to handle well in the softer snow and through choppier conditions. But I think a lot of them were surprised just how well they coped on firm conditions too, which is why we've given it our women's all-mountain runner-up award.
