The Atomic MX :15 is a ski touring version of the Atomic Sweet Daddy ski. It fills a space above the Atomic MX:9 in the Atomic touring lineup, that of the mid-fat randonnee ski. This market has come to be dominated by smaller manufacturers such as Movement and Black Diamond.
The ski is fiberglass cored which should give it a long life in the harsh ski mountaineering environment. The MX:15 replaces the Sweet Daddy's B4 profile with Tourcap Beta Profile providing stiffness with a wide and supple front end. The Dura Edges are said to be five times harder than steel edges and also hardened throughout the material not just on the surface so do not lose effectiveness with repeated sharpenings. Something that will be appreciated in steep and icy couloirs.
The ski performs very well in icy conditions. The sidecut is not too extreme giving an effective amount of edge contact on icy traverses for a shaped ski. The surface area and additional length provide enough float in powder and the MX:15 can be skied fast.
