Atomic Punx 2011

I am 5'8 130 lbs and rode the 173 at true center in Ontario.
I grew into liking these skis for sure, I wasn't hot on them when I first got them but when I killed them last year I was disappointed.

PROS: Soft and light, you can butter over everything and makes it fun to ollie over ice balls. They are a light ski for sure, almost feels like nothing is there and it makes them fun in the park or jibbing around.

CONS: Too soft for ice and under speed. The ice is straight forward, I also had shit edges and I only had an issue with chatter on fairly hard almost ice like days. They are light because they use less materials, thin base and thinner edges. It takes nothing to get a core shot and they are too shallow to p-tex in most cases, edges are thin and like to crack (cracks aren't much of a problem though so I don't know why people care). Center mount makes them not so great out of the park, but you get used to it. There is a way or style of riding them that can make the experience extremely fun.

Because of the lack of thickness in materials the durability isn't really there, but in saying that I managed to make them last 2 seasons or about 50 days (1 season of wear on bases shown).

Oh and if you like gaps to rails or disasters, skip this ski it can't handle repetitive hard landings on rails, and don't get a base grind ever, it makes everything even thinner.

I'd ride them again
TL;DR:
Fun, soft and light. Makes you ride the whole mountain like a park. Doesn't have amazing durability but it makes up for it with the fun aspect.

Value

it was a great deal for me i orderd the ski online and got it for $400 so great deal.

Fit

For the Punx I am 5'5 so the 155 fit me well and the sizes for the ski are perfect they come in 155 , 164 , 173 , 182

Characteristics

The core strengths of the Punx include a 100% symmetrical shape, which maximizes ski control – whether performing a regular or switch landing – its low weight, which makes fast spins easier, and a high-grade wood core, which makes the ski highly robust and durable.

Durability

Very well for me because im not too good i can do anything insane but it held up very well for me.
