Product details

The Atomic Redster S9 Gen S race skate ski is built for skiers who want World Cup speed on corduroy, and few places put that to work like the groomed Nordic trails at Silver Star Mountain Resort. Atomic's pro racers report the biggest gains from Gen S technology on icy, hard-packed tracks and courses full of turns and transitions, exactly the conditions you'll find on cold, firm mornings at Silver Star and on the Nordic trails at Big White through the Okanagan ski season. A shorter, wider-tipped Gen S geometry keeps the ski quick through corners while staying planted when you're pushing pace on the flats and descents.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

The Redster S9 Gen S Hard is for competitive and expert skate skiers who race or train at high intensity and want a pro-level ski for firm, fast tracks. The Hard stiffness suits heavier skiers in each length (65–80 kg on the 173 cm, 80–100 kg on the 183 cm), so getting the right pairing matters. Our team at Fresh Air will help you find the right ski and size in-store at both Kelowna locations. Stop by to talk with one of our experienced staff members, or call 250-763-3425.

FAQ

Q.What's the difference between Hard and Med stiffness on a skate ski?
Stiffness is matched to your body weight so the ski flexes the right amount when you push off. Atomic's chart puts the Hard version of this ski at 65–80 kg in the 173 cm and 80–100 kg in the 183 cm, while the Med version covers lighter skiers (50–65 kg and 65–80 kg). If you sit near the edge of a range, our staff can help you decide which stiffness fits your skiing.

Q.Why are Atomic Gen S skate skis shorter than regular race skis?
Atomic's Gen S design uses a wider tip and tail plus its Speedscale geometry, which lets the ski stay stable even at a shorter length. A shorter ski is easier to swing and steer, so you get quicker turns and smoother transitions without giving up control at speed.

Q.What snow conditions is the Redster S9 Gen S best for?
This ski has a Uni base structure, which Atomic designs to work across all conditions and rates as ideal from -15°C to -2°C. Atomic's World Cup athletes say it shines most on icy, hard-packed tracks and race courses with lots of turns, which makes it a strong pick for cold, firm mornings on groomed Okanagan trails.
