Prepare to be amazed! Atomic and Arc’teryx are back, and their latest collaboration is about to redefine freeride skiing. Last year, their partnership created a frenzy, with gear flying off the shelves. (Remember that Maverick 115 CTI? It was the ski to have! See: [https://www.amersports.com/newsroom/atomic-and-arcteryx-unite-to-craft-the-maverick-115-cti/]) Now, they're unleashing the Grottoflage Collection 2025, and it's bigger, bolder, and even more impressive.
This isn't just a new paint job; it's a fusion of Atomic's renowned precision engineering with Arc'teryx's cutting-edge design philosophy. We're talking skis, helmets, goggles, poles, and apparel, all united by a striking visual identity.
The heart of the 2025 collection lies in two brand-new freeride setups. First, the Maverick 105 CTI Arc’teryx Edition. This all-mountain charging machine is the very ski that propelled Craig Murray, a powerhouse athlete representing both Atomic and Arc’teryx, to victory at Natural Selection. Imagine the performance! Second, for the ladies, there's the Maven 103 CTI Arc’teryx Edition. This ski, co-designed with and defined by the style and strength of Tonje Kvivik (another dual-brand athlete), is built to conquer any condition the mountain throws your way. Think of it as the ultimate all-terrain vehicle for skiers.
Both the Maverick and Maven skis proudly showcase the iconic Arc’teryx Grottoflage graphic. This isn't just camouflage; it's a bold statement, a visual representation of the collaboration itself, seamlessly blending Atomic's meticulous construction with Arc'teryx's unmistakable maker DNA.
But the Grottoflage Collection extends far beyond skis. The capsule includes a complete suite of high-performance gear specifically engineered for the demanding alpine environment:
- Four Pro HD Arc’teryx Edition Goggles (available in L and M fits): Expect crystal-clear vision and unparalleled protection.
- Revent GT AMID Arc’teryx Edition Helmet: Safety and style, perfectly integrated.
- Backland FR SQS Arc’teryx Edition Poles: Lightweight, durable, and ready for anything.
- Arc’teryx Grotto Sabre Kit / Arc’teryx Grotto Sentinel Kit: The ultimate in weather protection and freedom of movement.
Each and every piece is meticulously adorned with unique Grottoflage detailing, creating a unified and visually stunning mountain aesthetic. This isn't just about looking good; it's about performing at your best, knowing your gear is as capable as you are.
Endorsed by some of the world's most respected freeride athletes, the Grottoflage Collection embodies a shared passion for innovation, impeccable craftsmanship, and a life lived in constant motion. Whether you're tackling big-mountain lines or carving through back-bowl descents, this gear is designed for skiers who demand precision, unwavering confidence, and a profound connection to the alpine environment.
"This collaboration is a match made in heaven, with a perfect blend of creativity, performance, and expression," says Tonje Kvivik, perfectly capturing the spirit of the partnership.
Designed in North America and meticulously crafted in Austria, the 2025 Atomic x Arc’teryx Grottoflage Collection continues to redefine the boundaries of what's possible in freeride equipment. It represents the culmination of two brands, united by a single alpine soul.
Here’s where it gets interesting… While the performance benefits are undeniable, the Grottoflage design itself is quite bold. Some may find it incredibly stylish and unique, while others might find it a little too loud. What do you think?
Equipment from the collection will be available exclusively at atomic.com. Apparel will be available at arcteryx.com and in select Arc’teryx retail locations.
