D2 VF 75 £550

Price includes binding:
YES

Construction:
Densolite

The VF series of Atomic Doubledeck skis uses a giant floating plate to let the ski flex naturally underneath the binding - the VF75 is the pick of the 'normal' batch, though the VF73 is no slouch. The wider body made it feel even more stable and, therefore, capable of ever-more vigorous runs. The whole VF series are extremely smooth and seem to deliver grip the instant you tip them onto their edges; you'd almost accuse them of doing it all for you if you didn't have to maintain a decent stance to stay in control at the speeds you find yourself travelling.
