Infamous Tail Height

I recently purchased a pair of Atomic Infamous (2013 model) and noticed that the tails on them are quite flat. This is getting me worried about hitting jumps switch and landing switch. Might sound stupid but I would just like some reassurance that I'm not going to have my tails catch landing switch.

if jossi trusts them enough to zero everything in sight, youll be fine.

P.S. pictures in threads like these are a must

You'll be fine dude. You're probably just comparing them to your afterbangs. The rocker in the tip and tail makes the actual tip look smaller because it's more gradual

I have the same skis and thought the same thing when i got mine, but they are great and I have never had any trouble with the tail height.

This. Id return them or go buy another pair of skis so you can still ride while youre sending the infamouses in for warranty

Tail height is nothing to be concerned about as Keef meat has no issues. Some of the earlier models of this ski do have delam issues but Atomic is very good with their warranty if that happens. Most likely they will upgrade you to another proven model or a more recent Infamous ski. We've sent in a few for this but haven't heard back from the customer so we assume Atomic sent them skis glued together with diamonds or some form of carbon cement. Overall, super fun skis though.
