With a shorter turn radius and narrower waist than the top-of-the-line Nomad Crimson, this Whiteout is an ideal platform for all-mountain enthusiasts who tend to take the groomed runs more than the untracked routes down to the valley. The Whiteout has six distinct soft flex zones called TFC sectors--four in front of the binding and two behind. The TFC sectors give the Whiteout extra flex while special nano reinforcement power channels add essential torsional rigidity for enhanced control on varied snow conditions. Previously applied in the space and auto industries, nano technology aligns individual atoms and molecules into ultra-thin coatings that create a surface 50 times harder and lighter than steel. The result is a dynamic and highly stable all-mountain ski that offers exceptional edge grip. We paired this Whiteout with the Atomic 4Tix 412 binding. As a performance and comfort design, the 4Tix 412 has Atomic's Full Flex technology, a free gliding system that connects the heel piece to the toe piece with a durable and flexible steel band. The design keeps the ski beneath the 4Tix 412 from stiffening so the flex is always predictable and potentially more stable than traditional bindings. With added elasticity, this binding also helps keep the ski in contact with the snow on varied terrain, even at higher speeds, so you stay in control through every turn down the mountain.
