88 mm Women's All-Mountain Ski
Atomic Maven 88 CTI Alpine Ski
The Atomic Maven 88 CTI Alpine Ski is for women who ski mostly groomed and firm snow and want a precise, light ski that still handles bumps, trees, and the odd powder morning. An 87.5 mm waist and a 15.5 m radius at 165 cm make edge changes quick and turns easy to shape, while camber under 75 percent of the ski and a carbon and titanal layer keep it locked on hardpack. Weighing 1,450 g per ski at 165 cm, the Atomic Maven 88 CTI suits front-side carving, chalky steeps, and long resort days where a lighter ski saves the legs.

Why We Like It
- At 1,450 g per ski at 165 cm the Maven 88 CTI is easy to pivot in bumps and easy on the legs over a full day of laps.
- Three quarters of the ski runs on camber, with only 15 percent tip rise and 10 percent tail rise, which keeps the edge engaged on firm, chalky snow.
- Carbon fiber and titanal, a light aluminum alloy, are laminated over the Power Woodcore, an ash and poplar blend, so the ski grips without feeling stiff.
- The run starts at 147 cm with a 14 m radius and 86 mm waist, a length and turn shape scaled for shorter and lighter skiers.
Best Uses
- Groomer carving
- Firm and chalky resort days
- Bumps and tight trees
- Long days of resort laps
- Women progressing to an advanced ski
Ski Selection Advice
The Maven 88 CTI comes in 147, 153, 159, 165, and 172 cm, and both the waist and radius grow with length: 86 mm and 14 m at 147 cm up to 88 mm and 16 m at 172 cm. For a ski this light, choose by turn shape: the 153 and 159 cm suit bumps and tight terrain, while the 165 and 172 cm add stability on open groomers.
The ski ships flat and takes any alpine binding mounted to Atomic's line. A 90 mm brake clears the 88 mm waist on the longest length. Match the binding to your boot sole norm.

Common Questions
Who should buy the Atomic Maven 88 CTI?
The Atomic Maven 88 CTI suits women who ski groomers and firm snow most days and want a light, precise ski. An 87.5 mm waist and 15.5 m radius at 165 cm make it quick and easy to turn, and at 1,450 g per ski it stays manageable all day.
Does the Atomic Maven 88 CTI have one turn radius?
No. The radius grows with each length: 14 m at 147 cm, 14.5 m at 153 cm, 15 m at 159 cm, 15.5 m at 165 cm, and 16 m at 172 cm. A single radius quoted without a length describes one size only, so choose by the figure for your length.
What bindings work with the Atomic Maven 88 CTI?
The Atomic Maven 88 CTI ships flat and takes any alpine binding mounted to Atomic's line. A 90 mm brake clears the waist at every length. Match the binding to your boot sole norm.
What length Atomic Maven 88 CTI should I ski?
The Atomic Maven 88 CTI comes in 147, 153, 159, 165, and 172 cm. The shorter lengths, with 14 to 15 m radii, turn tightly in bumps; the 165 and 172 cm, at 15.5 and 16 m, hold longer arcs at speed.
How does the Atomic Maven 88 CTI ski in powder?
The HRZN 3D tip, a raised, wood-reinforced shovel, helps the Maven 88 CTI through a few inches of new snow, but at 87.5 mm underfoot at 165 cm it sinks in deep snow. Women who ski a lot of powder should look at the 95 mm Maven 94 CTI.
Is the Atomic Maven 88 CTI a beginner ski?
No. The titanal layer and long camber section reward an advanced skier who drives the ski. Skiers still building carving skills will find it demanding.
Our Verdict
The Atomic Maven 88 CTI Alpine Ski is a light, precise women's ski for firm snow and groomers. Camber under three quarters of the ski, a carbon and titanal layer, and a 15.5 m radius at 165 cm grip and turn quickly, while 1,450 g per ski at 165 cm keeps long days easy. For women who ski the front side most days, the Atomic Maven 88 CTI Alpine Ski is an agile, confident choice.
