Used Utah Ski Gear Skis
High-Altitude Versatility: The Backcountry "Mountain King"
Named after the 5,980-meter Chilean peak, the Atomic Tacore is a specialized telemark and touring ski designed for the weight-conscious explorer who refuses to sacrifice performance on the descent. At 164cm, this 2006 model is the tele-specific cousin of the legendary Atomic Sweet Daddy, featuring a lightweight construction with a magnesium cap for enhanced torsional rigidity. Paired with the industry-standard G3 Targa Telemark Bindings, this setup is a reliable, agile tool for everything from steep spring couloirs to technical resort bumps.
Key Features
-
Magnesium Cap Construction: A high-tech reinforcement layer that provides incredible edge hold and stability while keeping the overall weight low for long approaches.
-
G3 Targa Telemark Bindings: A dependable, stainless steel cable binding that offers a neutral flex and legendary durability, perfect for both resort laps and backcountry tours.
-
Tele-Specific Tuning: Unlike standard alpine touring skis, the Tacora features a beefier mounting zone and an even flex pattern optimized for the mechanics of the telemark turn.
-
80mm All-Mountain Waist: A versatile width that offers plenty of "floatability" in soft snow while remaining quick and nimble on firm, technical slopes.
-
Lightweight Precision: At approximately 1500g per ski, the Tacora reduces swing weight and leg fatigue, making it easier to "dance" in tight trees and narrow chutes.
-
Beta Construction DNA: Inherits the stability and vibration dampening of Atomic’s alpine race boards, ensuring a quiet and confident ride at higher speeds.
-
Traditional Camber Profile: Provides the reliable "pop" and spring out of turns that traditional free-heelers look for on groomed and variable terrain.
