22/23 Test Day 6: Atomic 2

One of the key parts of what we do here at The Ski Monster is testing gear throughout the entire season. That means we are on snow in the best conditions and the worst. This allows us to form well-rounded reviews of what we bring into our shop. It also means you are getting our honest feedback on how gear performs all the time — not just how it does under perfectly groomed testing conditions. When you are buying a product, you are buying it for all your days, not just the ideal ones. 

For our second day with Atomic, Sunapee treated us to some bitter cold temps and slightly better snow. Coming off of some flurries from the night before, we were able to see how the Mavericks/Mavens and the Bent Chetlers operate on a variable day. We also got to ride on their Strive binding series. Keep an eye out for our full review later in the season. No spoilers, but this lineup is legit.
