By: evo Employees | Last Updated: June 8th, 2024
Review Summary
Avg. Tester Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)
Our testers had a range of experiences with the 2025 Atomic Maven 93 C. Dani Venus found these skis to be a great option for beginners, noting that they offer a good price point. However, she felt that for advanced or expert skiers, the skis were too soft and didn't provide enough stability. Cassidy Lavender appreciated the Maven 93 C as a potential daily driver for lighter, all-mountain skiers. She highlighted the ski's lightweight construction with a carbon backbone laminate, which offered stability and maneuverability. Despite this, Cassidy preferred a slightly more aggressive ski. Jordan Berde praised the Maven 93 C for its responsiveness and versatility on groomed runs, trees, and bumps. She felt it was suitable for a wide range of skiers, from beginners to advanced.
Overall, our testers agreed that while the Maven 93 C may not meet the needs of more aggressive, expert skiers, it offers a well-balanced and reliable performance for lighter or less experienced skiers.

If you tend to gravitate towards more groomed snow, and consider yourself anywhere from a beginner to advanced skier, the Maven 93 C is a solid choice!
"A topsheet to better match the personality of the Maven! The Maven is the perfect ski for anyone who prefer a responsive ski that prefers on-piste runs, but doesn't shy away from the trees or bumps. These skis will meet you where you need them to, whether that's cruising around getting warmed up for the day, or blasting down your favorite steep run. "

Great daily driver for a lighter lady ripper!
"I am an advanced, all-mountain skier. I'm 5'9 and love going anywhere and everywhere on the mountain, so I really like a ski that I can feel confident on no matter the conditions. I am keen on hitting high speeds on the groomers, but also spend my fair share of time seeking out all kinds of terrain so I need a mid-stiff ski that I can still play around on. The construction of the Maven is the same as last year. It's super light with the carbon backbone laminate, yet still stable enough to rip around. The 164 length was too short and while it's just not quite enough ski for me and my riding preferences, it still feels very well-balanced and maneuverable. I do prefer something a bit more aggressive, but this could absolutely be a great daily driver for a lighter lady ripper who loves exploring the mountain."
