Atomic Theory Skis?

[Alex.S]

I am contemplating getting the Atomic Theory skis. I want something light and durable, flex doesn't matter to me all that much, I would prefer a little stiffer though. I can't seem to find any good reviews on them so does anyone have them/know about them well?

I have a pair. What type of skiing will you be doing?

 

[Alex.S]

almost all park. I would like to know weight and flex, durability and how it holds up at higher speeds.

Don't get them. There stable at high speeds, but the swing weight is high and there not poppy at all. Go for a more park specific ski.

The Theory is a full sidewall, full wood core, carbon laminate, 7000 series base, slightly rockered tip/tail, all mountain directional twin. You should definitely think of it as an all mountain ripper first, and a twin tip second.

If you are skiing almost all park and a little bit of all mountain, I would definitely look to something more like the Punx which is also full sidewall, full wood core, 7000 series base, slightly rockered tip and tail, but fully symmetrical in shape, flex, and rocker. It has been made slightly stiffer than the previous generation, which will also help it when shredding outside the park when you want more stability.

Does anyone know if there is any difference between the 2013 and 2014 Theory (besides graphics)?
