The History of Atomic Snow Skis

Skiing is one of the most popular sports in the world. Many countries boast fantastic ski resorts and skiing conditions. For the avid skier as well as the novice, it is always important to have the best equipment for the sport.

Many companies have been in the ski industry for years, and have products with a good reputation. Atomic snow skis are a line of skis that have been worn by both ski racers and those that just enjoy the sport. The Atomic name also stands for products that are used in Alpine skiing, Nordic skiing and even snowboarding.

The Background of Atomic Snow Skis

The company that originally began manufacturing these skis was founded by Alois Rohrmoser in 1955. Alois, with four other employees began making alpine skis and the company began its life in Austria and is still based there today. Unfortunately, the company went through a rough spot financially and was sold to the Finnish Company Amer Sports. This company also owns Wilson Sporting Goods and several other sporting goods companies.

Although Amer Sports is operated in Finland, the company has kept the location for the manufacturing of the Atomic snow skis line in Austria. The company itself has seen some troubles in the past couple of years due to mild winters that then result in lowered revenues for the company.

The Austrian championship snow ski teams are well known for using Atomic snow skis. Many championship skiers have trusted the atomic snow skis brand, and are well known supporters of the skis and company. The product itself has a solid name as a ski and many others also use the brand exclusively.

Other Products by Amer Sports

In addition to Atomic snow skis, they also manufacture bindings for boots and other ski product lines under additional company names. For more equipment that is used in Alpine skiing the company has a product line under the brand name Dynamic. 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.
