The Atomic Cloud Ten Arc 16/17 is a women’s piste ski built for sporty, short-radius carving on groomed slopes. It’s aimed at skiers who enjoy quick, dynamic turns without venturing off-piste.
With a 12 m turning radius at 151 cm, this ski responds quickly when you tip it on edge, giving you confidence to link tight arcs down the fall line. Its 121/74/101 sidecut profile balances a wide shovel and tail with a narrower waist, so you get solid edge grip on hard snow and smooth turn initiation. Fitted with the E Lithium 10 binding, it delivers a reliable connection to your boots and consistent release performance, making transitions in and out of turns easier.
In ski terminology, the radius refers to the size of the curve the ski naturally follows when leaned over—a smaller radius means sharper, more agile turns.
