Atomic Backland 89 SL Skis

Light, lively, and built for big vert days. The Backland 89 SL brings a new, stripped-down layup that cuts weight (≈1,165 g at 169 cm, 1,330 g at 176 cm) while keeping Atomic’s trademark precision. Poplar/karuba Ultra-Light core, Carbon Backbone, and HRZN 3D tip give it easy tracking, reliable edge bite, and a quick, turn-happy feel.

Ride feel: playful and predictable in mixed snow, secure on firm, and happiest in short-to-medium arcs. Not a charger—more about accuracy, agility, and confidence.

Specs: 89 mm waist, lengths 162–183, sidecut 122-89.5-110.5 (169), radii 15–18 m depending on size.

What’s new vs Backland 88:

• Lighter overall build (≈150 g saved per pair).

• Quicker, more reactive turn feel versus the 88’s calmer, damper ride.

• Refined HRZN 3D tip for better float and maneuverability.

For who: ski tourers chasing efficiency and all-day fun. Perfect for volcano missions, couloirs, spring traverses, or any tour where weight matters but downhill control still counts.

Bottom line: a modern 89-mm touring ski that climbs like a feather, turns on command, and stays composed when the snow gets weird.
