Relaxed these days! I ski a lot with my kiddo and tend to be more mellow than when I was younger, with fewer adventures off trail. I also ski alone a lot so am reluctant to adventure much alone.

Ski:

2027 Atomic Maven 94 CTI Women's Skis

Size Tested:

172 CM

Location, Terrain, Snow Conditions Notes

Firm snow off of six pack.

Did this length feel short, long, or just right? Would you recommend sizing up or down, or does it ski "true to size?" Would you choose this length for yourself?

These actually felt surprisingly short, maybe compared to what I had been on before, but they were a great length for me.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

I always love this ski, it feels extremely stable and holds a great edge for how wide it is, I was super happy to have the metal as conditions were quite firm today. The 172 felt shorter than I remembered, making the ski feel overall very maneuverable.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

This is a great all mountain or mixed condition ski, it charges through crud nicely and floats well. It’s maneuverable enough to take into the trees and bumps, and not so unforgiving that you get thrown around. The metal and carbon combo is a nice mix and brings the best of both worlds in my opinion.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

This is probably best for advancing intermediate to expert skiers, it does require a bit of effort to really drive it, but it’s also pretty accommodating if you mess up.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

I like the graphics, I know not everybody does, but I think they’re kinda under understated and nice.

Moderately aggressive female skier from an on-again-off-again racing background, enjoys trying to make pretty turns no matter what conditions or terrain the ice coast throws at her, isn't always successful.

Felt like an okay length for me although I just didn’t love this ski, length wouldn’t fix it.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

This ski was super light and chattery on hard pack without any playfulness or quickness edge to edge to at least make it fun to play with. It felt soft with very little energy return, also wasn’t stiff enough to really rail a turn, and yet I didn’t really feel like it would pop off side hits in a fun and funky way either.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

Maybe it would do better in soft snow? But it really felt like it lacked the stiffness for true versatility, I think in moguls it might just noodle up.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

Not really a ski for a charging advanced/expert skiers, more intermediate skiers may enjoy that it takes little work and is a relaxed/soft slarver. Someone who likes to just chill.

Felt like lasagna.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

I did not enjoy the chatter on upper chin clip where the snow was hard frozen granular. The ski was not dying to make quick turns but did ok making some bigger carves on upper gondolier. It seemed to be happy in the soft frozen granular on the bottom of Perry Merril.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

All mountain ski that would thrive in soft snow.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

Advanced and above. It feels like it needs a strong skier to activate its true potential.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

The colors are a little too moody for me.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

My first impression of the Atomic Maven 93 was how light and easy it felt. It was very intuitive right away and didn’t take much effort to get comfortable on. I really appreciate the more centered mounting position—it naturally encourages a forward, athletic stance, which makes it easier to stay engaged through the turn.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

All-mountain, versatile across groomers, light off-piste, and mixed conditions, with a preference for softer snow over firm, icy, terrain. The Maven felt quick and maneuverable enough to do well in the trees.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

The Atomic Maven 93 would likely work best for intermediate to advanced skiers.The Maven is an accessible, user-friendly ski that works well for progressing intermediates while still offering enough support for more confident skiers.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

The Maven initiates turns easily and feels predictable, making it a great option for more relaxed skiing. That said, for my personal preference, it felt a bit too light and lacked the damping and stability I look for—especially in firmer, icier conditions. At higher speeds, it didn’t feel as planted or confidence-inspiring as I’d like. Overall, it’s a fun, versatile ski that would work really well for someone who values ease and maneuverability over power and precision.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

The Maven was a quick whippersnapper that surprised me with its performance range. The strong shovel and tail make it a reliable choice as a terrain charger. Great east coast beast of the ice coast pleaser.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

The Maven is a great ski for hard pack, groomers and early season cruising! I was impressed how well it held late afternoon conditions with ice and variable snow.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

The Maven will entice the best of advanced skier who love laying over the edge and making their mark.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

I do not love the graphics at all.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

I struggle with the tip construction of the Maven's and the wider underfoot the more I feel uncomfortable on them. The 94 CTI is great when you are powering into the turn, the edge stability is excellent its the chatter and finishing the turn that gets me. I think a slower skier would not even notice this but at speed the tip chatter is very noticable.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

Soft snow or slower speeds.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

Intermediate skier looking for a slightly wider ski to ski in powder and bumps. Its great at holding an edge, its light weight and at slower speeds you do not notice the tip chatter.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

It's the tips that get me.
