Atomic Backland 85 W (Backcountry Touring Ski 2021/2022)

Product Summary

The Atomic Backland 85 W is the perfect tool during both downhill rides and steep ascents. Thanks to its low weight, the ski is easy to master even on longer trips. The Atomic Backland 85 W's full retail price is €449.99. The Ski is roughly €160 cheaper than the average price of all Backcountry Touring Skis, making it a mid-range model. Effortless to ride at all speeds, this ski is just right for all intermediate skiers. The Backland 85 W is a more off-piste oriented ski which rides great in deep powder. Thanks to its versatility however, it is also fun on groomers from time to time. Available lengths for the ski are ranging between 151 and 165cm.

The ski in details

Atomic Backland 85 W is the perfect ski for alpine touring, with a specific shape for climbing and HRZN Tech for great flotation in fresh snow.

A wildly lightweight and versatile ski designed for women drawn to alpine touring, Atomic Backland 85 W is built with featherlight Ultra Light Woodcore construction, keeping it nice and light for uphill climbing. Further reducing weight, the Carbon Backbone runs the length of the ski like a backbone, providing exceptional agility and stable edge grip on the descent. Specifically shaped underfoot to allow for easier movement during climbing, especially on longer traverses, the All Mountain Rocker profile and HRZN Tech in the tip allow the ski to float in fresh snow and charge through chop and crud with less tip deflection. The cut-out notch in the tips makes transitioning Atomic Pre-Fit skins a snap.
