The Vintage Atomic "Red Sleds" Snow Skis ARC Team RS 210cm with Salomon 737 bindings represent a classic example of Austrian ski engineering from one of the most respected brands in the sport. These skis, produced by Atomic under the direction of founder Alois Rohrmoser, are designed for high-performance downhill racing and giant slalom disciplines. With a length of 210cm, they cater to skiers who prefer stability and speed on long turns.
Brand and Model Context
Atomic was founded in 1955 by Alois Rohrmoser in Wagrain, Austria. Starting as a small workshop with just four employees, Atomic quickly grew into a global leader in ski manufacturing, known for its racing excellence and technological innovation. The ARC Team RS model, also known as the "Red Sled," is part of Atomic’s race ski lineup designed for athletic skiers targeting upper speed ranges. The skis feature the patented Bionic construction, which consists of a two-layer wood core separated by a fiberglass layer, reinforced with aluminum and fiberglass load-carrying layers on top and bottom. This construction provides a balance of flex and stability, suitable for giant slalom and super-G racing. The skis have a relatively narrow shoulder and a wide heel, with a waist width of 66.5mm, typical for GS skis of their era.
Condition and Details
This pair is pre-owned and was made in Austria by A. Rohrmoser, bearing serial number 31003825. The skis are in good vintage condition but show a slight top edge issue on the right ski. They can be restored to optimal performance with a professional tune-up. The included bindings are Salomon 737, complementing the skis’ racing heritage. These skis are over 210cm in length, making them suitable for experienced skiers who appreciate vintage race equipment. As a collectible and functional piece, they represent a significant part of Atomic’s history and Austrian ski manufacturing tradition.
