Winter approaches and Earth tilts hard on its axis, sending the late autumn sun rolling low

along the horizon, bouncing atop distant mountain tops until it falls beyond their shadows. Soon,

we’ll step outside to find the season’s first cold front, coursing a parched landscape to reclaim the

margins between the wild and paved. Winter brings the wilderness down from the mountains, its veil

turning the backyards, neighborhoods, parks and streets into fresh, new landscapes to explore. This

winter, embrace the quiet adventures far and near, reveling in the wilderness of winter.

2013 will be a winter of discovery, as hallmark Atlas ingenuity provides fertile opportunity to spread the

Atlas Cold Front further than ever before. Whether those discoveries occur beyond rugged summits or

wait just outside your front door, Atlas offers a diverse line of innovative new tools uniquely tailored for

the adventure at hand. Discover new summits this winter with the improved binding on our new, lighter

weight Aspect, or merge your exercise and winter recreation with the new Atlas Fitness snowshoe. From new

frontiers to better fitness, Atlas innovations continue to spread the Cold Front to new populations.

As members of the Atlas Cold Front we remain committed to the discovery of winter on foot, and through in-

genuity and outreach we embark to introduce new participants to the wilderness of winter, wherever it may be.

ASPECT KEY FEATURES

Never satisfied, Atlas engineers set out to improve on the Atlas Aspect’s benchmark

backcountry capability. The Aspect’s new, lighter construction sheds a ¼ pound per

pair while its packable 24” and 28” lengths make it an easy addition to any mountaineer,

ice climber, or snowboarder’s kit. The redesigned PackFlat™ binding accommodates

larger snowboard or mountaineering boots and features an new, quick-lashing Z-Strap

that holds the foot more securely and cuts crucial weight. The Aspect’s ReactiV-Trac™

construction features aggressive saw-toothed perimeter traction paired with the in-

dependently sprung Holey-1 Toe Crampon for deep purchase, while its integrated el-

liptical nose facilitates the comfortable articulation of Spring-Loaded™ Suspension.

On steep ascents the curved heel lift eses calf fatigue and the streamlined Infinity

Decking maximizes surface area. With the Aspect’s enhanced features and established

performance, available in a new, more lightweight design, the lure of the backcountry

has never been stronger.

REACTIV-TRAC™ CONSTRUCTION merges the integrated flexibility of a ReactiV™ nose and Spring-

Powerful and efficient traction is applied with the precision and comfort of Atlas’ hallmark articula-

Our sturdy aluminum V-Frames are the key to an efficient, natural

On steep climbs, calf muscles tire quickly and traction decreases

when your foot matches the slope angle. The heel lift bar on our

Backcountry Adventure snowshoes eases fatigue and ties directly

Reengineered to take you higher and deeper than ever before the new Atlas 12 Se-

ries and Elektra 12 Series snowshoes feature their most aggressive traction system yet

while maintaining hallmark Atlas durability and comfort. Literally armed to the teeth

with new traction – the 12 Series’ tenacious, stainless steel Zodiac toe crampon deeply

penetrates even the firmest snow, while the weight-activated, StabiLock Rear Trac-

tion, optimizes weight distribution to its serrated traction elements, for sure footing

on the most technical terrain. The men’s and women’s Wrapp™ Pro bindings feature

FlowTape™ silicone straps that glide through low-friction buckles with a smooth buck-

le release for easy on-off use. The 7075 aluminum frame is the lightest, strongest tub-

ing available, and the variable ReactiV™ forming lends a stiffer, more responsive flex. To

build on a legacy as storied as the 12 Series required us to design a snowshoe equipped

to write the next chapter in Mountain Hiking performance.

movement for trail versatility. Both 8 Series snowshoes use the no-fuss, no-hassle

Strapp™ binding, with excellent arch support, gender-specific lasts and Uniloop pull,

all in a minimalist form. Forgiving Nytex decking and our proven aluminum V-Frames

offer superior durability no matter the conditions. Because the biomechanical differ-

ences between a man’s stride and a woman’s are just as important for beginners as

they are for experts, the Elektra 8 Series features our proprietary Elektra frame de-

signed for a woman’s narrower stance.

Bundled up and fitted with snowshoes, kids venture outside to discover all the living creatures

under the snow. SnowSchool is conducted at 43 diverse sites across the United States, that all

share one important quality: a desire to expose children to the fun and wonder of their winter

environment. With almost 28,000 kids participating each year, SnowSchool is a success with

teachers, kids, parents and managers of public lands.

Built for snowshoers age 8 to 12, the Spark and Echo’s fun graphics get the kids excited,

while our easy-to-use Grom binding ensures that kids aren’t the only ones having fun.

Sized to fit fast-growing adventurers and built with durable materials that stand up to a

kid’s abuse, our youth shoes feature hallmark Atlas durability. Simple and intuitive, the

molded tongue of the Grom binding hugs the foot, providing warmth, eliminating pres-

sure points and reducing the hassle of straps. The fixed toe cord keeps the snowshoe

underfoot and allows easier maneuvering for energetic kids. Atlas’ proven, proprietary

V-Frames and solid tempered steel toe and heel traction offer the performance your

kids need to keep smiling and hiking, all day long.

Outdoor appreciation starts at an early age, and the new boys’ and girls’ Sprout and

Mini snowshoes, featuring new exciting and bright kids’ designs, are the perfect way

to instill winter’s wonder in young children ages 4 to 8. The all-day comfort afforded

by the new easier-to-use Grom bindings’ molded tongue and shape will keep the kids

happy while Parents will appreciate the bindings’ new heel strap design and less time

kneeling in the snow. The 17” Molded V-Frame decks provide stability and durability for

snowy play, with the functionality and effortless stride of an adult V-Frame shape. The

Snowflake Molded Traction accompanies the steel toe crampon to give the new Sprout

and Mini excellent grip without excess metal, and your kids will love the snowflake and

Atlas stamps left in the snow.
