Atomic Backland 85 W 24/25 Touring Ski
Product description
The Atomic Backland 85 W delivers the perfect balance of lightweight all-round touring capability and downhill performance.
Designed for the female adventure seeker who skis the entire mountain, the Atomic Backland 85 W delivers the perfect balance of lightweight all-round touring capability and downhill performance. A reinterpretation of the original Backland W construction, the new lower-impact design takes a science-based approach having calculated and analyzed the ski’s life cycle. Locally sourced poplar wood, less fiberglass and resin, and new waste-reducing sidewalls cut CO2 emissions by 30%. The revolutionary All-Terrain Profile adds torsional stiffness with a re-engineered flex pattern for unrivaled downhill performance in any terrain and improved control on harder snow surfaces. With HRZN 3D – the next generation succeeding original HRZN tech – this new construction includes a uniquely beveled tip that increases float in powder and handling in variable snow.
For the ultimate touring set up, choose an Atomic PreFit skin to match and conquer everything the mountains have to offer.

Made from Poplar wood, this core optimizes the ski’s weight without sacrificing any shock absorption or stability.
Thanks to the continuous fiberglass layers, the ski is harmonious and stable. Stable to ride, while at the same time it scores with low weight and high dynamics.
Sidewall from base to top sheet, for controlled power transmission and great edge grip. The rounded shape of the Dura Cap is a fantastic durability feature as it picks up fewer dents and dings
A broad, uniquely beveled, perforated 3D tip that increases surface area for better float and reduced swing weight. HRZN Tech Tip & Tail construction features a fully beveled tip and tail that delivers 10% more surface area, without adding any width or weight to the ski, for awesome flotation in deep snow, less tip deflection and better tracking through chop. This technology also creates a more relaxed tip and tail for more playful, progressive performance – making it the ultimate design for freeride and freestyle skiers.
For all snow conditions and any terrain, both on and off-piste. An early rise either just in the tip, or in both tip and tail, makes this rocker super versa
Precisely tuned edges are an important part of ski performance. A dull edge cannot penetrate the snow surface and will skid through a turn. An edge that is too sharp will grab and catch the snow surface creating unstable performance. The Atomic skis are prepared with a side edge angle of 87.0° for more intuitive handling, easier skiing and better grip on hard snow and ice.
All skis from the Atomic factory are delivered with steel edges that have been carefully machined with a precise base edge bevel for specific performance characteristics. Base edge angles between 0.8° and 1.6° lightly lift the ski edges off the snow for easy turning while maintaining edge grip and tracking throughout the turn.
