Does anyone know when these will be available?  I went to the store and felt the 183s, and they seem like a perfect ski.  No one at the store knew anything about the 192s, although it says they make them on Atomic's website.

Anyone? Thanks

Hey there... The skis are/ will be available anytime now. We finished the final touches, flex, etc... late because we wanted them perfect, so not all stores had the chance to order them. I'm not 100% sure what stores will carry them, but I think EVO may be getting some in soon. http://www.evo.com/shop.aspx?text=chrisbenchetler# - this is where they post all my products. Hope that helps. Wish I knew more. Have a good winter amigo!

Hey, thanks a lot!

Are they the same as the 183's?  Any difference in stiffness etc.?

Production of the 192cm finished up in Austria on September 20th and have shipped out already. My guess is that they are in transit still or waiting in customs. Should hit stores very shortly.

15% stiffer tail. I'm beyond stoked with how they ski! Can't decide what size I'll ski more of...

That pretty much just means: being able to charge a load harder right? But it won't be much harder to land switch in deep stuff? I was thinking of buying the 192's and mount them at like -2 or so, but now I'm thinking more -1.5...

it means more support on landings, less chance that the ski will bend too quickly and slide out from under you.

land switch and you're landing on your tips, so just a bigger surface to land on thanks to the bigger size

Makes sense, but still, if it's soft and if the tail's stiff, then it's gonna be harder right?

i ride mine at 1.5 back, because of the size they are SOOOO SICK THERE!!! if you are gonna be skiing swtich anywhere from true centre to 1.5 is perfect. otherwise i would go 2.5 or recommmended.
