Skiing belongs to the top 20 most popular sports of the world.

Many countries boast fantastic ski resorts and skiing conditions.

For skiing one needs the best equipment available; novice of expert.

Many companies have been in the ski industry for years, and have products with a good reputation.

Atomic snow skis produces skis for both the professional downhill racers and the normal person who just wants to enjoy the sport.

The Atomic name also stands for products that are used in Alpine skiing

The early days of Atomic snow skis.

Alois Rohrmoser founded the firm in 1955 and produced skis.

Austria was and still is the base of their production. With 4 employees Mr. Rohrmoser started to produce alpine skis.

Unfortunately, the company went through a rough spot financially and was sold to the Finnish Company Amer Sports.

Amer Sports was also selling/producing Wilson Sporting Goods and many other sports product names.

Amer Sports was operated from Finland

Amer Sports has encountered several troublesome times. Some winters were so warm that resulted in less sales and therefore lowered revenues for the company.

Even with Atomic snow skis you can make a big stumble

Many fanatic skiers know this already; the Austrian national ski team is been known for using Atomic snow skis.

as well as slalom experts have been using Atomic snow skis and won many races with this brand. Their face was almost a logo for these skis.

The product itself has a solid name as a ski and many others also use the brand exclusively.

Other Products by Amer Sports

Besides the famous atomic snow skis, they also produce special ski boots, and other ski related product lines under serveral different company names.

One very distinct product Amer Sports also produces is the brand name Dynamic. A very well know brand in the skiing world.

For those that are interested in high-segment skiing the company name that represents those products is Volant.

For the snowboarding enthusiasts there is the brand Oxygen. They even have a brand for equipment involved in mountaineering called Koflach.

The Atomic snow skis laid the foundation for the growth of the company and its ability to produce quality products for all areas of enjoying winter sports.

Amer Sports is a well respected company that does produce a broad range of products that many consumers, as well as professional athletes find to be the best on the market.

Love Atomic skis and Oxygen snowboards. Nice summary of the brand and photo of the classic ski wear! I think i have seen a few people while staying at Gondola Chalets, http://www.gondolachalets.com/ sporting some wear like that.

Not sure about the skis but Oxygen boards are solid. Have been riding one for general shredding for years. Perfect on groomers, rails and pipe! Hope they keep producing the goods.
