Atomic Backland Expert Ski Boots (Women's)

The Atomic Backland Expert W is a no-nonsense, lightweight touring boot built for women who want uphill efficiency without sacrificing downhill confidence. With a Frictionless Pivot and Free/Lock 4.0 ski-to-walk system, the stride feels natural and effortless on big climbs, then locks in seamlessly for stable performance on the descent.

Atomic’s Prolite construction keeps weight down while reinforcing strength where it matters, and the Cross Lace 2.0 closure gives a precise, wraparound fit for secure, energy-efficient skiing. The 3D Gold Tour liner is PVC-free, breathable, and washable, with Dura Shield for added durability—ready for countless missions. Designed with a women-specific cuff and liner, this boot delivers comfort and performance in a streamlined, weight-conscious package.

Praised for its smooth, efficient touring and a ride that feels more stable and confidence-inspiring than most lightweight AT boots, the Backland Expert is a killer choice for backcountry skiers who want uphill efficiency without giving up downhill punch. And it doubles as an excellent hardboot option for splitboarders looking for precision, responsiveness, and reduced weight on big days.

Light enough for long skin tracks, stout enough for steep chutes—this is the boot for mountain days that demand both.
