Atomic Metron vs. Nomad
I demoed the Atomic Nomad Crimson this weekend and really liked them. Would
I be correct in assuming this is a softer more forgiving ski than the Metron family? It's difficult to find direct comparisons on the internet. Thanks |

Does it come with carpet slippers included? -- ant Don't try to reply to my email addy: I'm borrowing that of the latest scammer/spammer |

The word on the hill is that you either love them or hate them. Nobody is wishy-washy. These things are like driving an 18 wheeler. I bought them one size up from what the shop recommended and they bust through anything. The downside is carrying them to the lift. You can become fatigued just from the weight. My understanding of the new Nomad line is, at least in part, to combat my complaint. They come naked so you can put any bindings on them and Salomon has some new, really lightweight offerings in that regard. I haven't skied these things yet, but I assume I'll be fresh when I get to the lift. Anthea... I'm to try some Stormriders in a couple of weeks and keep them for several weeks. I'll get back to you. |

The ones I tried back in 2002 wouldn't bloody turn until you were doing mach II. Talk about crudbusters though, they are battleships, but they now turn. I'm still thinking about some XXs but I'm doing so little skiing, it's hardly worth it. My Stockli SCs are still all taped up from the trip home back in April 06... -- ant Don't try to reply to my email addy: I'm borrowing that of the latest scammer/spammer |
