Like-New Condition! The 2027 Atomic Maverick 96 CTI with Demo bindings is a directional all-mountain ski for strong skiers who want precision and composure wherever the day takes them. It sits in the middle of the Maverick range, which is the spot where edge hold, stability, and off-trail versatility come out roughly even. The demo binding handles the fit side of the equation, with an adjustment range that spans a wide spread of boot sole lengths.

Why we like it:

It feels planted and confident when the snow is firm, and it stays maneuverable enough for trees and mixed conditions. There's a calm, predictable quality to how it enters and exits a turn that's easy to appreciate.

Who it's for:

Advanced to expert skiers whose priorities are control, edge grip, and versatility. It's ideal if you ski trails aggressively but keep finding your way into bumps, trees, and softer snow.

Highlights:

Carbon and titanal elements reinforce the wood core, and the payoff is torsional rigidity and damping that translate directly into stronger edge hold and better stability once you're up to speed. The directional shape carries moderate tip rocker, enough to keep turn initiation smooth while holding effective edge contact on firm snow. A 96 mm waist is the balance point, giving up nothing edge to edge while still providing a platform for light powder. A demo binding tops it off, with adjustability that accommodates a broad range of boot sole lengths.

Things to consider:

Metal in the construction buys confidence and costs weight, so the Maverick 96 CTI is heavier than the lighter all-mountain options in this width. It's also less forgiving if your preference is a very relaxed, centered stance.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Maverick 96 CTI skis true to length with a supportive tail and solid edge engagement, and most skiers will want their standard size. Come down slightly if maneuverability in tight terrain matters most, though aggressive skiers will be glad of the stability a full length brings.
