2014 Ritual Review

The Specs:

When your rituals revolve around exploring the entire mountain, you never know what you’ll encounter.  Needless to say, you’ll need a ski that’s both versatile and dependable—a ski like the Atomic Ritual.  The Ritual is designed for ripping lines on both sides of the access gates.  Its all mountain rocker—which blends a slight rocker at the tip with a healthy dose of camber through the rest of the ski—floats in pow and crushes groomers.  The ski features a wood core with a profiled, metal laminate that is set directly into the core.  With a 103 mm waist, the Ritual can handle a range of terrain and conditions—but not at the expense of precision.  Regardless of your beliefs, you can appreciate this Ritual.
