Balanced all-round touring performance, any terrain

Initiating a new era of ski design, the Atomic Backland 85 sets out to shape the future of ski touring with its lower-impact design. The result of a scientific life cycle assessment, this all-round touring ski is for those who crave adventure on every type of slope. The construction of the ski significantly reduces material-based CO2 equivalent emissions by 30% (compared with the Backland 85, 2021) with the use of more poplar wood, less fiberglass and resin, and waste-reducing sidewalls. HRZN 3D – the next generation succeeding original HRZN tech – features a broad, three-dimensional tip to increase float in powder and variable snow for more soulful performance. The All-Terrain Profile uses a natural-wood-to-fiberglass ratio, adding torsional stiffness and an enhanced flex pattern for improved stability on harder snow surfaces. Lightweight and stable with all-terrain versatility, this ski offers unlimited potential for dawn patrols, quick laps after dark, or longer backcountry trips. Choose an Atomic Pre-Fit skin for the ultimate touring set up.

An all-round touring ski with immense potential, the Atomic Backland 85 strikes the balance of weight, efficiency, and performance in a lower-impact design.

  • Directional Shape: Minimal tail rocker for more edge contact creating better grip and stability.
  • Dura Cap Sidewall: Sidewall from base to top sheet for great edge grip, with a rounded shape for increased durability.
  • Glossy Topsheet: A glossy topsheet gives your ski a polished, glassy finish for a super-sleek high-end look.
  • Side Edge Angle: 87°: A side edge angle of 87° for more intuitive handling, easier skiing and better grip.
  • Base Edge Angle: 1.0°: A 1.0° base edge angle for easy turning, excellent edge grip and aggressive tracking.
