Atomic Backland 86 SL W (Backcountry Touring Ski 2024/2025)

With a lower-impact design, the Atomic Backland 86 SL W is made for female ski tourers looking for big vertical and even bigger descents.

The Atomic Backland 86 SL W is made for those female ski tourers who take as much pride in earning their vert as they do in crushing their descents. Taking a scientific approach, Atomic has analyzed the life cycle of the Backland skis to create a lower-impact design that upholds the highest performance standards. A reinterpretation of the original Backland SL, the Backland 86 SL W reduces material-based CO2 equivalent emissions by 30% with more wood, less fiberglass, less resin, and waste-reducing sidewalls. All-Terrain Profile uses a natural-wood-to-fiberglass ratio to create a ski shape that adds all-round touring versatility. HRZN 3D features a uniquely beveled tip that increases float in powder. A caruba and poplar Ultra Light Woodcore is combined with a Carbon Backbone for strong downhill performance. For the ultimate touring set up, choose an Atomic PreFit skin to match.
