Maverick 100 Ti - Review 2025

With the Bent series eating up all of the attention, Atomic’s Maverick lineup represents a return to tradition. These sensible, directional skis replaced the Vantage series (which I was a long-time lover of) and won’t disappoint those who appreciate a more classical take on ski design. 

Though the generous employment of laminates and a directional tail harken back to the days of no-nonsense chargers, the Maverick series borrows some of the innovations Atomic uses in its other skis- most notably the HRZN beveled tips. As always these inserts add float and make for a more forgiving ride over all. Note that as the widest in the series, you’ll have the most luck in powder with the 100 TI.

But keep in mind that powder days are few and far between, the Maverick does its best work during those long bouts between the legendary storms. Balancing a (comparatively) lightweight build with the dampness and stability that only a dual metal laminate build can provide. The Maverick 100 TI has the serious driving power necessary to hold a long, smooth edge where lesser skis would skitter.

The Maverick is for intermediate to advanced riders who wouldn’t categorize themselves as particularly “playful” in that they don’t feel compelled to ski backwards. It’s more than capable of serious skiing without taking itself too seriously.
