Alpine Skis

Atomic Big Daddy Alpine Ski:

The Atomic Big Daddy is, well, the Big Daddy of the ski world. It's for big western mountains, big powder days, and big skiers. The Atomic Big Daddy comes in one size: 193cm, with a whopping 107mm under the foot. (That's as wide as the Beta 9.22 all-terrain ski is at the tip!) If you like skiing all things big, then there is no other ski for you. This is the biggest baddest pure freeride ski on the hill, but it's probably not the only ski in your quiver. That means when it dumps big, your powder panic will double since you'll be itchin' to step onto the Big Daddy.

Bottom Line: The “who's your Daddy” jokes will get old—restrict yourself to one per day.

Dynastar Legend Pro Rider Ski:

The Dynastar Legend Pro Rider alpine ski can be summed up by its name. The Pro demands and delivers a high-performance ride. This season, the 194cm sports the same sidecut as the 186cm, making this mammoth ski even bigger. The Pro Rider is not designed for the faint of heart. Made for Mach 50 straightlines, powerful big mountain pow turns, and explosive inbounds schralping, this ski will give you the ride of a lifetime. The mixed wood core, titanium laminate, and full-length sidewalls make this ski one you've gotta stay on top of. The Pro's beefy 90mm waist makes it the perfect choice for steep open pow fields, while its stiff torsional rigidity keeps it responsive and aggressive in less desirable conditions. The Pro comes in just two burly sizes, 186cm and 194cm.

Bottom Line: Are you ready to go Pro?

Garmont Dynamite G-Fit Alpine Touring Boot:

The Garmont Dynamite G-Fit Alpine Touring boot is the best value in the Garmont line for a Dynafit compatible boot. It offers the right balance of skiing support and touring comfort for all around ski mountaineering. The Dynamite comes with the G-Fit Mid custom thermo-formable liner which is a step down in height and stiffness from the G-Fit High liner (not pictured), and has a flex panel for touring comfort. The G-Fit liner features a tongue-design that maintains the shell's forward lean, is more responsive to forward pressure, and provides better ankle flex than overlap designs. The Garmont Dynamite G-Fit Alpine Touring boot is for people who spend more time in the skin line than the lift line. We carry this boot in smaller sizes for women's feet; check options pull down menu for availability. NOTE: It is not necessary to custom mold these to your feet, but it'srecommended for the best possible fit. See your local boot fitter.

Pro Model SC Spaceframe Ski Boot:

Salomon's Pro Model SC Spaceframe Alpine Ski Boot takes big-mountain and racing performance to a new level. Salomon's Spaceframe technology—for skis and boots—centers on a fundamental principle; excess material is eliminated, giving you ultimate lightweight performance. Hexagonal cutouts on the SC's outside edge promote faster, more fluid edge changes, whether you're charging big-mountain lines or chewing up in-bounds bumps. The cutouts don't go all the way through to the liner, and a plastic barrier with a watertight seal keeps moisture away from your tootsies. The Pro Model also features a heat-moldable My CustomFit Race liner with impressive insulation value. The SC has a Salomon fore/aft flex of 95 out of 120, with 120 being their stiffest boot.

Bottom Line: The Pro Model SC Spaceframe will rocket your skiing into the next dimension.
