Prepare for float, float, and more float with the Atomic Janak Telemark Ski. At 99mm underfoot, this lightweight powder-hunter takes you to the steep and deep without weighing you down. The Janak's magnesium construction, smooth flex, and lightweight strength provide smooth planing while still allowing you to lap all your buddies lugging heavy fatty planks. A rigid torsional flex gives you plenty of strength for bulletproof snow and the occasional jaunt in-bounds while the moderate side cut helps you lay down tight lines.

Bottom Line: Big on everything but weight.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Fascinating ski

When they say "float" they mean it. They also hold a great edge on ice. For such a lightweight ski, they deliver in all conditions. I use these with Dynafit Vertical TLT, and Scarpa Spirit 4. I love the set up. I'm new to AT but a long time alpine skier. I've never skied on anything this wide, but my body doesn't know the difference. They excel in all turn shapes. This ski is very light weight, very lively, will take you anywhere you'd like to go, and bring you back. Thanks to these skis, I'm actually happy I lost my job. For the price, this ski is a steal.

Dont telemark skis use grip wax like cross country or nordic skis? Or do you have to use skins every time?
