Returning for 2026 with a bold new look, the Atomic Maverick 105 CTi continues to earn its spot as one of the most versatile freeride skis in the lineup. Designed to handle everything from morning groomers to afternoon chop and backside powder laps, it’s a true do-it-all ski for adventurous skiers who don’t want to be limited by conditions.

Why we like it:

It’s the kind of ski that doesn’t blink when the terrain or snow changes, it just keeps charging.

Who it's for:

Ideal for advanced and expert skiers who want one ski that can confidently float through soft snow, hold an edge on firm groomers, and power through tracked-up terrain. Especially well-suited for Western mountains or skiers chasing soft-snow versatility with daily-driver stability.

Highlights:

Built with Atomic’s Power wood core construction, the Maverick 105 CTi blends a poplar and ash core with carbon and a sheet of Titanal for the perfect mix of strength and energy. HRZN Tech in the tips expands surface area for better float and smoother handling in chop, while the directional rocker keeps things composed at speed. The 105 mm waist hits a sweet spot that offers true all-mountain range without feeling cumbersome.

Things to consider:

While impressively versatile, the Maverick 105 CTi is still a wide ski; those who stick to firmer trails or value quick edge-to-edge performance will prefer a narrower option that’s more frontside focused. As these have a more directional shape, switch happy skiers will want to find something more freestyle oriented.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size or even a little short; choose your standard size for balanced all-mountain performance or go longer for more stability in open terrain and deeper snow.
