Panos Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) Hi there, I have seen an offer for a pair of Atomic Teledaddy skis (123 tip, 99 waist, 115 tail X 173 long) without bindings for over $200. Will these work well in the backcountry with dynafit bindings and AT boots? Snow conditions may vary out there. I am an intermediate skier, 178 pounds, 6'1'' (186 cm). What do you guys think ?

Hugh Conway Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Yes, they'll work quite well. The Atomic Sugar Daddy was the same ski but the Alpine topsheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panos Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) Thank you man http://www.backcountryworld.com/showthread.php?t=1143 Perhaps $200 is too much though. These skis used to sell on offers for $130-160 last year. Edited January 28, 2008 by Panos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panos Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 No longer the biggest fish in the tele pond, the Atomic Teledaddy - taken from the alpine mold of the Atomic Sugardaddy - is one great floatation device. Reworked with a softer (more telemark-friendly) flex, and the addition of the 153cm model, the TD is one of the best all around super-fat skis. Other new additions to the TD are a reinforcement in the binding mount area to deter from screws ripping, and a hot new cosmetic. This ski is a fantastic charger at anywhere from short to long radius turns, and the addition of a new fiberglass weave over the core helps to soften the ski longitudinally. Ideal usage: The Teledaddy was built for the steep and deep, but it's beta-styled edge grip will will allow the skier to perform at a high level all over the mountain. Whether digging powder trenches , blasting through crud, mank and windpack, or ripping groomers - the Atomic Teledaddy is an extremely versatile all mountain fat ski which caters to those upper end abilities.

hafilax Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I have round tails on my skis and rarely have a problem using BD's STS system. YMMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
