Fun Ski but there are Problems

Pros:

Lightweight, Good turning, Fun Ski

Cons:

Binding Screws Pull Out of Top Sheet

Best Uses:

Wall Decoration

Comments about Atomic Ski USA Inc TM:22 Ski:

I loved the TM22 from the instant that I first skied them. They turn wonderfully and are also light in weight. However there is a big problem with this ski. The top sheet is not strong enough to hold the binding screws tightly. After a few weeks the bindings screws become loose. Re-tightening the four screws that fasten the bindings to the ski is a real hassle and the screws become loose again anyway. Atomic replaced my first set of TM22s under warranty because of this problem but the second set has the same problem. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Save your money for a good set of Telemark skis that have threaded inserts. K2 and Donek skis come to mind.
