The Atomic Backland 85 Touring Skis are designed for alpine touring enthusiasts seeking a lightweight and versatile ski that excels in both ascents and descents. These skis feature a construction that balances weight, efficiency, and performance, making them suitable for a wide range of touring conditions.
- HRZN 3D Tech Tip: A broad, uniquely beveled, perforated 3D tip that increases surface area by 10%, enhancing flotation in powder and reducing tip deflection in variable snow conditions.
- Ultra Light Woodcore: Constructed with locally sourced poplar wood, this core optimizes the ski’s weight without sacrificing shock absorption or stability.
- Carbon Backbone: An ultra-lightweight carbon insert running the length of the ski, providing exceptional agility and stable edge grip on descents.
- Fiberglass Layers: Continuous fiberglass layers create a harmonious and stable ski, offering low weight and high dynamics.
- Dura Cap Sidewall: Sidewall extending from base to top sheet for controlled power transmission and great edge grip, with a rounded shape for enhanced durability.
- All Mountain Rocker 15/85/0: An early rise in the tip provides versatility across various snow conditions and terrains, both on and off-piste.
