If carving hard on the groomers and then rocketing onto the backside for some face shots and cliff drops is your thing, then use the Atomic Snoop Daddy Ski for your assault. A killer turn radius (by far the tightest of Atomic’s big-mountain skis) lets you draw crop circles in the snow for ski patrol to come stare at and wonder, “Are we alone in this universe?” A wood core means smooth transitions and snappy response, and ninety-something underfoot keeps you afloat when you find that secret stash of bottomless hash in the backcountry.
Bottom Line: S-n-double-o-to-the-p.

Great One Ski Quiver for Intermediates Who Push Themselves 11-07-09
Before last season I was an OK holiday skier without much knowledge of skiing equipment. But since last November I have pushed myself to progress and learn as much as possible about snowsports. I got the Atomic Snoop Daddies for a bro price and they helped my skiing come on a treat.
I am 6’2” and around 80kgs and was hooked up with the 176s. I mounted a pair of Marker Jesters on them and really let rip for the season. As I am from Scotland and was used to skiing either beginning or end of season crud in Europe, Utah was a big change. For an intermediate skier out riding everyday these really are a great one ski quiver. They coped with everything in Park City, 10+ inch days, sidecountry, trees, park, switch, goofing around. I have no doubt these fantastic skis helped me become the rider I am today. I literally went from unable to land 5 foot bump jumps to stomping 30 foot bad boys, ripping pow and sliding C boxes.
My only complaint is that the leather top sheet makes it near on impossible to add stickers and I have had some delams that I needed to fix. But these were due to me really pushing myself and destroying my poor Snoops!
At this price you really cannot go wrong and with the excellent customer service that Backcountry provides, it is a no brainer. BUY!
If you are looking for a versatile and nimble All-Mountain expert ski that rips on all types of ski conditions (crud, POW, Hard Packed) the '09 Snoop Daddy should be your choice! At 93mm underfoot, it's fun, responsive and forgiving.
