With the same side-cut and footprint as the Blackeye, the Atomic Smoke is the slightly easier, softer flexing “All Mountain” cruiser from Atomic’s Nomad series.

The new Smoke is one of the most agile skis out there. This translates to EASY turns and a forgiving feel that boosts the confidence of the skier while delivering carved turns at ANY radius with a minimum of effort.
The Smoke feels light and easy to ski and still provides enough “BITE” for the hard-packed or icier ("loud powder") runs that are the norm for Eastern skiers; AND the Smoke is built to the same dimensions as the Nomad so there is still plenty of deeper snow capability blended with a smooth stable feel.
Middle weights and lighter skiers will definitely like the "ski all day with less work" feel of the Smoke, while heavier skiers and speed freaks should look to its bigger brother, the Blackeye.
