Welcome to your new obsession. The N Maverick 105 CTi has arrived, and it's turning heads out here in the Colorado mountains. If you’ve been hunting for a set of skis that can handle everything the Rockies throw at you—from sun-blasted chutes to sheltered tree runs—stick around. You’ll want to know what makes these bad boys a must-have for your 2026 adventures.
Design & Build
Picture this: a sleek Black/Gunmetal finish glinting in the sun as you carve through fresh snow. That's the N Maverick 105 CTi. While official specs aren't out yet, here's what we've gathered from taking these on the slopes. These skis feature a robust construction with a mix of carbon and titanium, engineered to give you phenomenal stability and edge hold. Its wider 105mm waist offers the kind of float you need on deep powder days, while its slightly rockered tip and tail give it that playful edge on groomers and treacherous sections alike.
Performance on Snow
What sets the N Maverick 105 CTi apart is how it feels underfoot. Imagine gliding smoothly over freshly groomed runs, feeling the solid grip of the edges biting into the hardpack, while the tips dance lightly over softer snow. Shift into the trees, and these skis suddenly become nimble dancers, weaving effortlessly through tight lines. Bumps? They handle them like a champ, offering enough flex to bounce but enough stiffness to maintain control.
And let’s not forget those dreamy Colorado powder days. These skis shine when you finally hit that untouched white gold. They're wide enough to keep you floating, with just enough rocker to help you pop up and glide.
Pros & Cons of the N MAVERICK 105 CTI:
Pros:
- Stable at high speeds
- Excellent edge hold
- Versatile across varied terrain
- Playful yet controlled flex
Cons:
- May be too stiff for beginners
- Could feel heavy in tight spots
Who It’s For
The N Maverick 105 CTi suits the adventurous skier who's been around the mountain a time or two. It's ideal for intermediate to expert skiers who love to push their limits, hit different kinds of terrain, and maybe even toss in a little off-piste action. While it might be too burly for a newbie, this ski truly shines in the hands of someone who's confident enough to let it rip.
Compare with the Competition
While we love the Maverick, it’s important to know what else is out there. Take the Atomic BENT 100 2025 or the Sender Free 100 Open 2025—both stellar options with their own set of strengths. The Atomic Bent skis boast a similar all-mountain versatility, while the Sender Free brings a bit more to the table in terms of wide-turn performance. Yet, if you’re a fan of stability and edge control, the Maverick is still top dog.
Closing

So, here’s the scoop: if you’re the kind of skier who likes to explore every part of the mountain, from ice to powder to the varied terrain Colorado throws at you, the N Maverick 105 CTi should definitely be on your list. Whether you’re a longtime Atomic rider or just dipping your toes into all-mountain and freeride glory, these skis won’t disappoint. Don’t just take my word for it though.
