Atomic Freezone 9.10 -- What are these things?
I've been renting demos while on trips, but wanted a pair of skis for
local days out and bought a pair of used Atomic Freezone 9.10 skis in a swap last fall. The strange thing is that there is almost no reference to their existence that I can find anywhere on the net. They're not twin tips or those funny little skiboard things -- just relatively normal skis with a pretty small turning radius. It turns out that I quite like them, but am wondering what their designed purpose was. Anybody know anything about these skis? Thanks, Giles |

Wow, you need to work on your Googling skills. I turned up lots of
hits with: http://www.google.com/search?query=Atomic%20Freezone%209.10&num=10 Looks like it was an "Extreme Carver" with dimensions of 111-65-96. That's a pretty deep sidecut of 19.25mm. Several of the sites I turned up used the label of "Trench Carver" for them. |

That's a pretty deep sidecut of 19.25mm. Several of the sites I turned up used the label of "Trench Carver" for them. Not surprising. Atomic's numbering system was of the form m.n where m == intended skier level (4=beginner to 11=expert) n == nominal turn radius in meters. so a 9.10 would be for advanced skiers with a nominal turn radius of 10 meters. i.e. a moderately agressive ski with a very short turn radius. Trench carver sounds about right. They've gotten away from this numbering system, but that's what it was a couple years ago. -- //-Walt // // There is no Völkl Conspiracy |
