Atomic Reveals New Skis and Boots For 2026

Year after year, Chris Benchetler never ceases to amaze us with his artistic prowess, bringing his larger-than-life presence to skiing in the form of beautiful shapes, colors, and designs atop his signature skis. The Maverick line leans into its more minimalistic vibe, with Atomic giving the Maverick 115 CTi topsheet a color treatment it simply calls "Butter."

Things get a little more attention-grabbing when diving into the rest of the hardgoods line, specifically when looking at boots. One boot in the fan-favorite freeride and resort Hawx lineup get the new Dual BOA treatment, perhaps indicating that Atomic is approaching this new tech with some caution. It's the Hawx Ultra 130 S, the stiffest and narrowest boot in the line.

The race-ready Redster series gets a full re-design, splitting the line into the TX and TR lines. The TR series boots are designed for elite-level racers like Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, going up to a 150 flex and featuring absurdly narrow race-day-only lasts. On the other hand, the TX is a race/crossover boot that takes the stiffness and response of a race boot and places it in a more all-day resort-ripper friendly package. Finally, as a response to the needs of their pro freeride team, Atomic also released the Remedy 130, which takes the shell of the Redster boots and adds freeride-friendly features like a Grip Walk sole, rubber bootboards, and a more comfortable liner. We reviewed this boot at the end of last winter, check out our thoughts here.

That Remedy will be the boot to look for this year if you're a hard-charging resort skier looking a really narrow and extremely precise boot. It's going to take some work to get comfortable, but the performance you'll get out of it might just be worth that extra hassle.
