Я перевернул переписку, чтобы читать было удобнее.
То есть читаем как нормальный текст сверху вниз. В хронологическом порядке так сказать.

Для нечитающих по-аглицки основная мысль такова.
Внутренности у лыжи на фотке такие же как у SL9:12. Графика как у SL11:12.
Почему тАк, амерканский атомик ответить не может. Мэйла австрийского суппорта они не выдают.
В последнем письме они признались, что это возможно что лыжа может быть демо. И что каким бы спорт цехом не были лыжи, если это 11:12 то он всегда идет с титановыми трубками.
Ну вот и все. Наслаждайтесь моим ужасным инглишем. К превому пистму была приатачена первая фотка. В дальнейшем была приатачена фотка с торца.

Subject: Question about broken ski.

Hello Atomic.

Recently, I've met a man. He shows me the photo that looks very strange
for me.(see attached photo)
As far as I know all atomic skis are made using beta technology.
The only suggestion I can think out is that the ski on the picture is
the special race ski (I mean ski for world cup).
But it looks very weak for such a ski. No titanium channel or at least
plate.

In any case, can you a say a few words about the ski on the attached
picture?

Thanks in advance
Misha Chekin.

Hi Misha,

The person who can best answer your question is not presently in the office. He is at the big Ski Show in Las Vegas. I tried asking a few others who I thought might know, but to not avail. If you do not mind the wait, the gentleman who should know what the ski is will back in the office on Monday, Feb. 3rd. and he can hopefully answer your question.

Thank you for your inquiry,

Misha,

This ski is an SL:9 slalom ski. It does have beta technololgy, carbon power channels, but not as stiff as the SL:11 and the carbon is under the binding area, where as the titanium in the 11 goes from tip to tail. We cannot explain why the ski broke the way it did, except that he must have been really skiing hard in the moguls.

Respectfully,

Hi [Name has been changed],

It sounds very strange.
The graphic of the ski on photo is the same as graphic of SL 11.12. (On the picture I've send to you can see the end of word "titanium".
In the same time on SL9 there should be "carbon" instead of. it.
Like on the picture http://www.atomicsnow.com/english/alpin/race_alpin/moreinfo/moreinfo_ski_912.htm
I've attach on more photo of the brocken ski.
On this photo you can read the serial number of the ski. May be it can say something to you.
Why do the ski with SL:11 graphics have the SL:9 insides?

Thanks in advance.
Misha Checkin.
PS: Sorry for my awful english.

Yes you are correct..Now that we can see the size of the ski as a 157, we know this is the SL:11. They do not have the same construction. One is carbon and the other is titanium.

Hmm....
Is there any explanation for this?
The thing is that as far as I hear this ski was not bay in the shop. Actually say I don't know where from they comes. May be it was a present form racer or from dealer I don't know. Only one thing I know that it is not a pair form market.
Is there any possibility that they are a sоme kind of an exhibition ski (demo version, or something else)

I know I'm looking excessive inquisitive, but still..

Misha Checkin.

By looking at the picture, this is all we can see and tell you. The skis are made in Austria, we buy them and distribute them in the US. To our knowledge and depending on the model, each one is made the same way...no matter where they are purchased.

Thank you [Name has been changed],

May be people in Austria can say more?
Do you have any e-mail contact of Austria office?

Anyway thanks,
Misha Checkin.

Sorry, Misha, but I do not have an e-mail for Austria. Has the owner of the ski contacted the place where he bought the ski so that the store can contact us, if they are in the US, for a warranty return?

[Name has been changed], I'm not from US.
Me and the owner are from Russia. More over we are from different city. And I know him only virtually.
He just send me the picture, and it appear, very strange for me.
He is not worry about warranty (I wrote he gets his ski as a present), he supposes that this ski is a so-called Race Stock.
I tell him that the race slalom ski without titanal is a nonsense.
That's about all.
My opinion is that it is a evaluation unit. I've seen such a ski but it was not Atomic it was Head. It was on our ski exhibition.
That Head had a sticker "not for skiing, for demonstration only".
So there is only one thing I'm interested in. Is it possible that he gets "not the true" ski.

Regards,
Misha.

I suppose it is polssible that he has a ski that is for "demonstration only". I did not understand that this is what you meant in our earlier conversation. Atomic Austria probably makes skis for this purpose, too. They also make race stock skis, but all of these have the titanium channels.

Have a great day, Misha.
