Merry Christmas. Watch one of the best ski movies of the year for FREE. Oakley really came through on this one. This is not your typical park and pow ski film. Get ready to see how far skiing has become and where the sport is going.

Widely considered one of the most versatile and thrilling Freeskiers on the planet, Richard Permin has decided to join the Atomic family. Atomic is incredibly excited about the addition and will work closely with Richard to support his tremendous progression.

We are stoked to see Richard making the move. I am guessing he is going to destroy his film segment this season on a pair of 2013 Atomic Automatic Skis. For now check out this little video from the 2011 season.
