Atomic Backland 85 W Alpine Touring Skis

The Atomic Backland 85 W Alpine Touring Ski is a lightweight and versatile ski geared toward women who need a well-balanced tool for attacking the uphill, and ripping back down for another lap. Packed with a slew of performance features, the Backland 85 combines ultralight core materials with space-age carbon fiber reinforcements to meet the needs of hardcore ski mountaineers and fitness junkies alike.

From the gnarliest ski-mountaineering objectives to backyard fitness laps, the Backland 85 W is equally at home. Poplar and Caruba make up the core of the ski, providing the best properties of each wood to create a super-light, yet snappy and responsive ride. A full-length carbon backbone stabilizes the ski longitudinally and torsionally, without a major weight penalty. HRZN Tech inserts in the shovel boost surface area, keeping the skis floating in softer snow, and reducing the chance for hooking and deflection. All of this in a 1080g (158cm) package that you'll barely feel as you make your way skyward.
