Product Summary
The ski in details
An all-round touring ski with immense potential, the Atomic Backland 85 strikes the balance of weight, efficiency, and performance in a lower-impact design.
Initiating a new era of ski design, the Atomic Backland 85 sets out to shape the future of ski touring with its new lower-impact design. The result of a scientific life cycle assessment, this all-round touring ski is for those who crave adventure on every type of slope. The construction of the ski significantly reduces material-based CO2 equivalent emissions by 30% with the use of more poplar wood, less fiberglass and resin, and waste-reducing sidewalls. HRZN 3D – the next generation succeeding original HRZN tech – features a broad, three-dimensional tip to increase float in powder and variable snow for more soulful performance. The All-Terrain Profile uses a natural-wood-to-fiberglass ratio, adding torsional stiffness and an enhanced flex pattern for improved stability on harder snow surfaces. Lightweight and stable with all-terrain versatility, this ski offers unlimited potential for dawn patrols, quick laps after dark, or longer backcountry trips. Choose an Atomic Pre-Fit skin for the ultimate touring set up.
