Atomic Backland

While you can technically ski them inbounds, these are specialized backcountry boots. The 96mm last and lightweight construction are optimized for uphill efficiency and touring, so they will feel significantly less supportive and comfortable than a dedicated resort boot when skiing hardpack or high-speed groomers.

The 96mm last is considered a narrow fit. It is designed to provide a precise, close-to-foot feel for technical skinning and descent control, but if you have a wider foot or prefer a roomier toe box, you may find this model too restrictive.

Yes, the 3D Platinum Tour liner is heat-moldable. We recommend having a professional boot fitter heat mold them to your specific foot shape to eliminate pressure points and improve overall comfort during long days in the mountains.

With a flex rating of 80, this boot is relatively soft. It is designed for weight savings and uphill mobility rather than aggressive, high-speed downhill charging. If you prioritize downhill performance over uphill speed, you might find the support lacking in variable or icy conditions.

The Atomic Backland is designed specifically for tech-style touring bindings (pin bindings). It does not have the standard ISO alpine boot sole lugs required for traditional resort bindings, so ensure your binding setup is compatible with touring-specific soles.
