Additional Information about Atomic Savage Ti Skis |
|
|
|
The Atomic Nomad Savage Ti is an all-mountain performance ski also capable of delivering sheer pleasure off-piste for the advanced and expert skier.
Thanks to the Step Down sidewall construction and additional titanium inserts, the skier's power is directly transferred to the slope, allowing the skier to control the ski with even greater precision.
A 93 mm waist width allows the Savage Ti to deliver optimum lift, turning any foray in powder snow into an exhilarating adventure. The Adaptive Rocker further optimizes lift, while maximizing the effective edge length during edging on the slope. Vibrations and impacts are absorbed by the tip-to-tail wood core.
SKI SPECIFICATION
Geometry: 134mm – 93mm – 120.1mm (177cm)
Radius: 18 Metres @ 177cm
Construction: Adaptive Rocker, 2-Layer Titanium
Core: Tip to tail Woodcore
Bindings: XTO 12
SKI FEATURES
Rocker: With three newly developed camber variations, Atomic is able to optimise the individual characteristics of each ski, tailoring it precisely to its intended use. Atomic have created Traditional Camber, Rocker Camber and Adaptive Camber. On this ski you will find:
The Adaptive Camber has a long camber profile through to the tip which ensures maximum stability on hard snow, while the curved tip provides sufficient lift in powder. This is great for aggressive piste skiing, whilst also giving the adaptability to take this into soft snow conditions.
Step Down Sidewall Woodcore Ti: The half-cap construction at the tip and tail area protects the ski from mechanical damage, the sidewall construction in the binding area improves damping, shock absorption and therefore edge grip. A tip-to-tail wood core in conjunction with a titanal insert gives the ski an impressively sporty and dynamic character.
Ti: This abbreviation corresponds to the titanium topsheet that runs the length of this ski. This helps with dampening but also torsionally stiffens the ski improving carving and edge hold.
OUR OPINION
This is the widest of the Nomad range at 93mm underfoot, but thanks to its titanium top sheet, step down sidewall and full wood core it is still surprisingly playful and dynamic on piste. This ski will take anything you throw at it and keep going. Best suited for off piste skiing, this ski looks and skis great.
Now with its tip rocker it provides additional float in powder meaning it is great for those venturing into the soft stuff for the first time. This rocker also helps with its carving on piste and the step down sidewalls provide the flex and cushioning of capped construction but with the beneficial properties that the sidewalls give to power distribution on hardpack.
IS THIS FOR ME?
This is for those who are looking for a ski that will float really well in powder, but has the stiffness and strength to allow aggressive piste carving, even if the turning radius is fairly wide.
It would be good for aggressive piste skiers who want to start venturing into the off-piste, or those who will be heading between the trees, but will always end up back at the lift queue for another run.
Here is a handy reference chart to give you an indication of your correct ski size. Remember that this chart is just a starting guide. If you have rented a ski length recently and found that this suited you, do NOT be afraid to select that size if it differs from the above - Length is a personal thing!
This should be enough to help direct you to the ski for you, but if you need more help just contact us here at Edge & Wax.
Next we need to adjust the length to match your ability:

* Skis are sent to our workshop prior to shipping for correct set-up, waxing and packing, therefore we cannot offer a next day service on skis. Priority shipping does however move your order to the front of the workshop queue for priority set-up.
** Not Available to Scottish Highlands & Islands  Please Note: Priority shipping orders need to be received by 13:30pm Monday-Thursday for a next working day delivery on in stock items. For skis this is 10am to allow us time to wax and pack your skis. Orders placed on Saturday or Sunday using priority shipping will be shipped on the following Monday. Our couriers and Royal Mail do NOT collect from us on Saturday or Sunday. For a Saturday delivery please contact us.
 Snowpulse bags, due to the nature of the gas cannister in this system, we cannot ship internationally at our standard pricing, as a dangerous goods agent is required to prepare the shipment. In these cases we will contact you with a revised cost before proceeding with the order.

Ski Buying Guide
There is a lot of information on the web, in magazines, and from friends on how to choose the right skis, and of course the correct length.
We were there once, buying our first pair. It's a big investment, but the payback if you choose the right skis is amazing; retail skis are superior to rental skis, only you have used them so they will last a lot longer, and you can also gain valuable ski time on the mountain not having to get into the ski and boot rental queue.
We have broken our guide into two sections - Skis 101, a breakdown of what a ski actually is, all the geeky words used, and what they really mean to you. And then we have the Ski Buyers Guide below, to help guide you through your ski purchase.
We hope you find both of these guides useful, and remember, we are only a phone-call, email or short trip away if you need further advice on your purchase. If you are buying skis, we are here to help!
Buying Skis
Step 1 - Which Type Of Ski?
The first step in buying your own skis, is to work out the type of skier you are and the skier you want to be.
Skis come in a variety of types. Here are the key ones:
Piste Skis - These are suited to skiing on piste, in good snow conditions. Some models use technology direct from the racing scene. Piste skis are great carving skis. Piste skis may struggle a little when skiing in less perfect conditions, and also if you wish to go off-piste.
All Mountain Skis (Or All Condition Skis) - These skis allow you to ski in a variety of snow conditions. So whether it is icy or slushy, an all-conditions ski will perform better than a piste ski. There is sometimes a loss of carving ability, but the modern all-conditions skis such as Volkl AC skis and Attiva women's skis have the latest technology to maintain carving ability.
Back Country Skis - These skis are for venturing out of bounds, hiking all over the mountain. They will remain versatile enough to ski the whole mountain, and also be lighter than normal to make it easier to carry them or travel uphill with them. Normally these are supplied without bindings, and you select an appropriate binding to suit your needs (See our Ski 101 section)
Off-Piste Skis (Or free ride, powder skis) - These skis are designed for skiing in powder and off-piste conditions. They will generally be wider to help with floating in the snow, and be a little more forgiving to give you more feel in powder and to absorb impacts from jumping/landing.
Which Length Of Ski Do I need?
You know the type of ski you want, you now know what each brand. Now you just need to work out the correct length.
This chart is to give you a rough indication of size. Height is not the main factor with modern carving skis; weight and ability are the two key things to consider. You can contact us any time for advice on ski lengths.
If you are between sizes, a shorter ski will give you shorter turns and a longer ski will be a little faster. If you are comparing to old non-carving skis you will see modern skis tend to be used in shorter lengths.
If you are buying a piste ski this chart should be accurate, if you are looking at an all-conditions ski, and again are between sizes, we suggest the lower of the two lengths. If you are a female skier, also choose the shorter length
Next, adjust the length to match your ability:
Decide on your ski level using the above chart, and then make the following adjustments:
REMEMBER! This chart is just a starting guide. If you have rented a ski length recently and found that this suited you, do NOT be afraid to select that size if it differs from the above - Length is a personal thing!
This should be enough to help direct you to the ski for you, but if you need more help just contact us here at Edge & Wax.
