Really fun ski, and surprisingly supportive for ripping groomers despite the relatively soft flex. However they have been plagued with durability issues, but for $185 you can't go too wrong.

they're going to blow up within 5-10 days. not worth it, buy yourself something nice and you won't regret it.

for 185 go for it that's great price for that ski, apparently it has some pretty bad delam problems but theres no way to predict if that will happen to you or not

use 185 on the skis, use 20 bucks on a clamp and some appoxy. Delam might not happen, then if it does throw a bandaid on the planks and your still paying a good price. I would take the deal.
again your gunna get different answers from different skiers. If someone delaminates their infamous and theyv been charging hard or stomping big jumps and you don't ski that way then your getting a skewed answer.

They will last like three or four weeks and then they start to delam from tips tails where ever they can, but if you know how to fix things with epoxy or some other glue then yeah why not for that price, just dont expect them to last too long time. Otherwise it's a great ski, carves hard, easy to butter, rocker makes things easy. Btw tails are a bit harder to fix since the edge pops out and i couldnt get it to stay with only glue so i had to use a special way to fix it. Pop rivets are also awesome, put a few more to the tips so they will last.

Just throw in some extra rivets and epoxy it to shit. Worst case scenario get em warrantied. Apparently atomic recognizes the problem and is good with the warranty.
