Anders Aukland, Norway’s top classic specialist and Vasaloppet champion, has pressured Atomic into developing a waxless classic ski capable of Worldcup success. “So many races on Worldcup get funny crazy with wax conditions,†pointed out Aukland. “Nothing the wax guys do seems to work. We slip or we stick. You needs a fast waxless ski that can win the races.â€
Atomic’s Nordic race director, Peter Juric, agrees. “Many of Norway’s top athletes switched to Atomic this year. Part of the deal was that we would work closely with their technicians to develop a waxless classic ski capable of Worldcup victories.â€
