The Atomic Alea 53 is a versatile light touring ski specifically designed for women. The grips zones are moved forward and the flexes are slightly softer to accommodate a woman's physique. The Alea is designed with the optimum width to perform on both groomed and ungroomed surfaces. The 53mm width is stable and forgiving; it easily fits within 65mm rails, it floats well on skied-in tracks, and it has enough girth to get out there on untracked terrain. The Posigrip pattern offers relaxed ascents, and easygoing grip and glides. A pair of 183cm skis weighs 3 lbs. 0.5 oz. unmounted.
