Atomic Backland FR

While designed with touring in mind, this ski is versatile enough for resort use. Its durable sidewall construction and stable core provide enough edge hold for groomed runs, though it truly shines in soft snow and off-piste terrain.

The HRZN 3D tip is beveled to reduce swing weight, which makes the ski feel much more nimble and easier to maneuver in tight trees or technical terrain. It also helps the ski float better in deep powder by preventing the tip from diving.

Yes, at 1460g per ski (for the 167cm length), it is quite lightweight. The combination of a Caruba and Poplar wood core keeps the weight down for efficient uphill travel without sacrificing the stability needed for the descent.

This ski is built primarily for powder and soft snow, thanks to its generous rocker profile and 108.5mm waist width. It excels in deep snow but remains capable enough to handle variable conditions and firmer snow when you encounter them.

With a 16m turn radius, this ski is surprisingly quick and intuitive to turn for a powder-focused model. It allows for tighter, more controlled turns in technical terrain while still feeling stable when you open it up on wider slopes.
