Atomic Backland FR

It is designed as a hybrid. While it is light enough for efficient backcountry touring, the Dura Cap Sidewall and stable wood core provide the damp, reliable performance needed for resort laps and variable snow conditions.

The HRZN 3D tip reduces swing weight, making the ski feel more nimble and easier to initiate turns. It also helps the ski float better in deep snow by increasing surface area without adding bulk.

This ski is ideal for intermediate to advanced skiers who want a single setup that can handle both deep powder and firm, groomed runs. It is for someone who prioritizes a balanced, maneuverable feel over a stiff, race-oriented ride.

Yes, the 102mm waist is a versatile sweet spot. Combined with the increased rocker profile, it offers plenty of float for most backcountry conditions while remaining quick edge-to-edge on harder snow.

Atomic uses a Dura Cap Sidewall construction, which wraps the topsheet over the sidewall to protect against edge damage. While it is built to be light for the uphill, it is robust enough to handle the impacts of daily freeride use.

Yes, at 1430g per ski, it is significantly lighter than a standard alpine ski. You will feel less fatigue on long climbs, though you may notice a slightly different dampening feel compared to heavier, metal-laminate skis when charging through heavy, tracked-out snow.
