The Atomic Maven 93 C with Marker Squire 11 Bindings is a versatile all-mountain ski that excels in both soft snow and on-piste conditions. Its generous tip rocker and forgiving progressive flex give it a light, responsive feel, making it a quick and responsive ski for both firm and softer snow conditions. The addition of carbon enhances its energy and pop, providing a smooth and lively performance. We paired the 93 C with the Marker Squire 11 because of the Squire’s high performance and dependability for lighter weight all mountain and freeride skiers. With a light weight construction and a safe, reliable release, the Squire 11 is a go to choice to keep performance high and weight low.

Why we like it:

The Maven 93 C’s versatility and light, responsive nature make it a standout choice, offering excellent performance while remaining nimble underfoot.

Who it's for:

The Maven 93 C is suitable for a wide range of skiers. It offers an accessible, intuitive feel for intermediate skiers and enough power and performance to satisfy advanced skiers. It’s an excellent option for advancing intermediates looking for a ski that will grow with their skills.

Highlights:

Atomic’s OMatic wood core, built with Poplar, provides stability and a smooth ride, while the Carbon Backbone adds energy, torsional stiffness, and improved grip. HRZN Tech in the tip ensures maneuverability and floatation in soft snow, while a more subtle tail rocker ensures plenty of power and energy out of the turn. Marker’s Triple Pivot Light 2 Toe and Hollow Linkage Heel systems work in tandem to provide powerful energy transmission to the ski, allowing for maximum edge grip and control of the ski. Lighter weight skiers can rest easy knowing the Squire 11 will be easier than ever to step into thanks to a re-designed heel piece. Perhaps the most underappreciated feature of the Squire 11 is the anti-ice rail, which sits on top of the toepiece and can be used to scrape the sole of your boots clean before stepping in.

Things to consider:

The Maven 93 C is a directional all-mountain ski, so skiers seeking a more multi-directional ski with a strong park or freeride influence might prefer a different option. Additionally, those focused on finding the deepest powder stashes would benefit from a wider model like the Maven 103 CTi.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The significant rocker in the tips allows for sizing up without compromising maneuverability for advanced skiers. Intermediate skiers should stick to their usual size to maximize the ski’s performance.
