Atomic SX 7 ppm 2008

The SX 7 has been revamped for 2008 with the PowerPuls system. A favourite with the sporty intermediate for many a year the SX 7 is once again a lively and exciting ski for its price point that is great fun and exhilirating for a ski of this level. Even expert skiers, although you will find it quite soft, are surprised by the agility, carve and poise of what is essentially an intermediate ski. If you are looking for your first pair of skis and want something with a little get up and go then the SX7’s are fantastic.
Light, grippy, easy to use and a sporty intermediates dream ski.

The manufacturer says this about the Atomic, SX 7 ppm, 2008:

Excellent edge grip, extremely light and excellent precision. A new ski that will delight pleasure orientated carvers.

Atomic Nomad Whiteout 2008

The Nomad Whiteout is mid-range in the all-new Nomad range. The performance for the price of these skis is fantasic and they are very good allterrain skis for the intermediate to advanced holiday skier. The main difference between the Blackeye model above and the Whiteout is the softer flex with a different use of top sheet material. The Whiteouts are great workhorses in the traditional allmmountain category and will give you an adventurous spirit if you are tired of staying to just the blues and reds.
On the downside the feel and quality of the Nomad Whiteout, especially in terms of the binding, isn’t overt. They are well made and will no doubt last the duration but there is a level finish that you don’t get at these prices that you would expect to see with some of Atomics more prestigious models.
All in all an excellent ski for the adventurous intermediate.

The manufacturer says this about the Atomic, Whiteout, 2008:

Nomad: A member of people or tribe that has no permanent abode but moves from place to place. Thats exactly what these skis are designed to do. With features such as a fatter mid-section for easy carving through deep powder and vibration annihilating panels for rough terrain these are the only skis that make you feel truly at home wherever you may be.
Thanks to the innovative TFC technology very little energy is required to ride this light, high-quality all-mountain ski effectively in all terrain. With four TFC sectors in the tip and four in the tail of the ski.

Movement Yaka 2008

The Yaka is new for 2008 and is an interesting proposition for newcomers to Movement. As they have previously only manufactured high end and specialist products the Yaka is a much more versatile ski that will open new horizons to advanced skiers. A lot happier on piste and carving around the hill in the way that most holiday skiers spend their time the Yaka will let you explore the entire mountain whether the snow is deep and soft or firm and unforgiving. The new shorter radius also helps less experienced skiers to feel a carve and how to use the ski to arc a turn rather than making the skier make all the effort. A good choice for the adveturous advanced two week+ a year skier.

The manufacturer says this about the Movement, Yaka, 2008:

A dream ski was missing in our programme, enter the Yaka. This play-ski is versatile, holds a mean edge and is very lively. Its playground is 70% on piste and 30% off. It has a large range of use from very hard packed snow to some nice rides in powder and crud. A shorter radius design which eases the initiation and release of the turn at lower speeds but its wider ski-tip offers astonishing smoothness and dampening at higher speeds. The Yaka is a perfect compromise that will satisfy a wide range of skiers in a wide range of conditions.
