Atomic Backland 85 W (Backcountry Touring Ski 2022/2023)

Atomic Backland 85 W is the perfect ski for all-round ski 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 the allure of all-round 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. Built to enjoy every aspect of backcounty ski touring and specifically shaped underfoot to allow for easier movement during climbing, 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.
