Atomic Maverick 96 CTI Alpine Ski

The Atomic Maverick 96 CTI Alpine Ski is for strong resort skiers who want one ski that charges chopped-up powder in the morning and still holds a clean carve on the groomer back to the lift. A 96 mm waist and 129 mm shovel at 179 cm give the ski enough surface to stay up in soft snow, while an 18 m radius and a carbon and titanal layer keep it steady when you open it up on firm runouts. At 1,900 g per ski at 179 cm, the Atomic Maverick 96 CTI has the mass to stay settled in crud and suits storm days, side-country laps, and big-mountain terrain off the lift.

Why We Like It

  • At 1,900 g per ski at 179 cm the Maverick 96 CTI carries real mass, which is what keeps it from deflecting in afternoon crud.
  • A titanal sheet, a thin aluminum alloy, bonded with carbon over the ash and poplar core damps chatter at speed while keeping the ski responsive.
  • The waist grows only 1.5 mm across the run, from 95 mm at 165 cm to 96.5 mm at 186 cm, so every length keeps the same character underfoot.
  • Atomic's HRZN 3D shovel, a raised tip with a rounded, wood-reinforced profile, adds surface area for soft snow without lengthening the ski.

Best Uses

  • Storm days and chopped powder
  • Side-country laps off the lift
  • Big-mountain resort terrain
  • Fast skiing in crud and variable snow
  • A one-ski quiver for strong skiers

Ski Selection Advice

The Maverick 96 CTI runs 165, 172, 179, and 186 cm, with the radius stepping 1 m per length from 16 m to 19 m. Because the ski is heavy and damp, we size most skiers at forehead height or above; drop one length only if you ski tight trees and bumps more than open terrain.

The ski ships flat and takes any alpine binding mounted to Atomic's line. Choose a brake wider than the waist, which reaches 96.5 mm on the 186 cm, so a 100 mm brake clears every length. Match the binding to your boot sole norm.

Compare the Atomic Maverick 96 CTI

Atomic Maverick 96 CTI vs. Atomic Maverick 88 CTI

The Atomic Maverick 88 CTI shares the core and carbon and titanal layer on an 88.5 mm waist at 179 cm, at 1,770 g per ski. It is quicker edge to edge and better on firm snow. Choose the 88 for hardpack and the 96 for soft snow and crud.

The Elan Ripstick 96 is lighter at 1,640 g per ski at 182 cm and uses dedicated left and right skis for an easy release.

Common Questions

Who should buy the Atomic Maverick 96 CTI?
The Atomic Maverick 96 CTI suits strong skiers who want one resort ski for soft snow, crud, and fast groomer runs. A 96 mm waist at 179 cm and 1,900 g per ski give it float and stability, and the titanal layer holds an edge when the snow firms up.
Is the Atomic Maverick 96 CTI 96 mm underfoot in every length?
Only at 179 cm. Atomic shapes each length separately: 95 mm at 165 cm, 95.5 mm at 172 cm, 96 mm at 179 cm, and 96.5 mm at 186 cm. The radius changes with it, from 16 m to 19 m, so pick the length by turn shape as much as by height.
What bindings work with the Atomic Maverick 96 CTI?
The Atomic Maverick 96 CTI ships flat and takes any alpine binding mounted to Atomic's line. A 100 mm brake clears the waist at every length. Match the binding to your boot sole norm.
How heavy is the Atomic Maverick 96 CTI?
Atomic lists the Maverick 96 CTI at 1,900 g per ski at 179 cm. Shorter lengths weigh less and the 186 cm weighs more. That mass is deliberate: it keeps the ski settled in crud, and it is why this is a resort ski rather than a touring ski.
What length Atomic Maverick 96 CTI should I ski?
The Atomic Maverick 96 CTI comes in 165, 172, 179, and 186 cm, with radii of 16, 17, 18, and 19 m. Most strong skiers ride it at forehead height or longer for stability; skiers who live in trees and bumps can drop one length for the tighter radius.
How does the Atomic Maverick 96 CTI ski on hardpack?
Solidly. The carbon and titanal layer, the Duracap sidewall, and an 87 degree side edge give the Maverick 96 CTI a firm grip on groomers, and the 18 m radius at 179 cm holds a long carve. It is slower edge to edge than the 88 mm Maverick 88 CTI on ice.

Our Verdict

The Atomic Maverick 96 CTI Alpine Ski is a stable, damp all-mountain ski for strong skiers who ski soft snow and crud as often as groomers. A 96 mm waist at 179 cm floats chopped snow, an 18 m radius and a carbon and titanal layer hold at speed, and 1,900 g per ski keeps the ski planted. The Atomic Maverick 96 CTI Alpine Ski is the heavier, more powerful choice for skiers who value composure over quickness.
