The Atomic Backland 85 marks a bold step forward in ski touring, blending all-terrain versatility with a significantly lower environmental impact. Designed for skiers who thrive on adventure in all conditions, this next-generation touring ski is built with purpose and performance in mind.
A full life cycle assessment guided the construction of the new Backland 85, resulting in a 30% reduction in material-based CO₂ emissions compared to the 2021 model. This was achieved through the use of more sustainably sourced poplar wood, reduced fiberglass and resin, and waste-minimizing sidewalls.
At the front, the new HRZN 3D tip—an evolution of Atomic’s original HRZN Tech—features a broad, three-dimensional shape that enhances float in powder and improves handling in variable snow. The All-Terrain Profile optimizes the wood-to-fiberglass ratio, adding torsional stiffness and a refined flex pattern for better stability on harder surfaces.
At 1250 Lightweight, responsive, and capable across a wide range of conditions, the Backland 85 is the ideal companion for dawn patrol missions, evening laps, or extended backcountry tours.
