Atomic Snoop Daddy

[ccskier]

Has anyone skied these before? I have had Atomic skis for the past 10 years or so, last two pairs were of the metron series. This year I am going to get the Snoop Daddys.

Any thoughts on them?

I procrastinated long enough and bought a pair of Snoop Daddys last week. I skied them for the first time this past weekend at Jay Peak. We got about 9+ inches of fresh snow it was perfect timing.

My prior skis were a pair of Meton M9's. I was at first hesitant with the new skis due to how I have been skiing much stiffer skis in the past 5 years. I had m8s and m9s, the snoops were great. I was able to handle most anything I got into. They are also super light

They are 125 88 113. I skied just about every scenario with them and did not have any problems. I am fully inpressed. I also got a great deal on them, $399 on Ebay brand new without bindings, which I already had. I highly recommend them.

Nice, good deal too. I skied them in january out in alta. I liked them too. I think, personally, I enjoyed the 8800's a bit better, (both are 88 mm under foot, if i'm not mistaken). But, the snoops were perhaps a bit better in the bumps, although, I was on a bit shorter of a ski than the in the 88's.

Good luck, great ski, can't go wrong. Oh yeah, I'm sure you'll like them better than those metrons. Those things are like skiing with a pair of cinderblocks.

Thanks, I looked into the 8800's, for some reason I just could not get past the pointed tips with the metal cap to them. Although the performance was there, they just did not look right to me for some odd reason. I know, I have enough cinderblocks for a foundation now.
