Once in a while, two brands’ collaborations just fit, and things get exciting. The Atomic x Arc’teryx collaboration on the Maverick 115 Cti is a perfect example — and you can win one of only two pairs of these skis that are coming to the U.S.
The two alpine sports brands created a new super-limited-edition version of the Atomic Maverick 115 Cti that debuted last year. Just 200 pairs of these powder-hungry, hard-charging skis are being made in the Arc’teryx “Grottogflage” graphic. It will be available exclusively in Europe — except for two pairs the brands are giving away in the U.S. through this sweepstakes.
All you have to do for your chance to win is enter on the Atomic website today (Nov. 11, 2024).
“[The Maverick 115 Cti] is a strong ski with purpose and intent,” pro skier and Arc’teryx and Atomic athlete Craig Murray said in a press release. “It’s going to facilitate the progression of freeride skiing by bringing a lot of technical and traditional Atomic performance to a ski that will allow new types of skiing to be seen.”
Maverick 115 Cti Sweepstakes
The Maverick 115 Cti is a power-forward powder ski. Designed in collaboration with Murray, it’s an all-mountain ski with a freeride bent. It has a “Power Woodcore” blend of ash and poplar wood, improving the ski’s sturdiness and dampness on snow. It has a 115mm underfoot width and Atomic’s HRZN 3D tip. So, these skis were made to float in the deep stuff.
They have a powder rocker tip and camber underfoot. A rounder, stiffer flex pattern offers greater stability than the previous season’s versions.
Arc’teryx released its black and gray Grottoflage print color scheme for a line of limited-edition skiwear last week. Now, through this collab with Atomic, there’s a pair of skis to match.
Atomic and Arc’teryx have not collaborated on a product before, but neither brand is a stranger to collaborations. In the past, Atomic has produced its Atomic x Fasani Foundation limited-edition collaboration Benchetler ski. Arc’teryx has collaborated with brands like Palace Skateboards and the Japanese brand BEAMS.
The limited-edition run of 200 Maverick 115 Cti skis they’re making for this collab will probably sell out very quickly in Europe. Here in the U.S., they won’t even be for sale. If you want to ride these gorgeous Grottoflage powder skis, you’re going to have to win them. The sweepstakes is only open today (Nov. 11, 2024), and you can enter on the Atomic website.
However, if you want a pair of the Maverick 115 Cti’s that isn’t the limited-edition Grottoflage collab with Arc’teryx, buy the regular ski through Atomic ($1,050). It comes in 177, 185, and 193cm lengths.
