Atomic Backland 88 Skis

The Atomic Backland 88 is a versatile touring ski designed for skiers seeking exceptional performance across diverse mountain terrains. Weighing approximately 1,300 grams per ski (in the 176 cm length), it strikes a perfect balance between lightweight construction and stability, making it ideal for both uphill ascents and downhill descents. Its all-terrain profile, which incorporates more poplar wood and less fiberglass, enhances its stability and versatility, ensuring a smooth ride in a variety of conditions.

One of the standout features of the Backland 88 is its HRZN 3D Technology. The uniquely beveled tip increases surface area for better floatation in powder, while the Dura Cap sidewall ensures responsive edge control. Additionally, its eco-friendly design reflects Atomic's commitment to sustainability, with a lower-impact manufacturing process that reduces waste and cuts CO2 emissions by 30%.

The ski also features a Dura Cap sidewall extending from the base to the top sheet for excellent edge grip and durability, as well as a light woodcore made from poplar, which optimizes weight without compromising stability or shock absorption. These thoughtful design elements make the Backland 88 an exceptional choice for skiers who value both performance and reliability.

The Backland 88 is available in lengths ranging from 162 cm to 183 cm, with a sidecut of 124/90/112 mm and a turning radius of 17.4 meters (for the 176 cm length). It is well-suited for intermediate to advanced skiers who enjoy all-mountain touring and need a ski that performs well on both groomed trails and off-piste terrain. Its eco-conscious construction also appeals to environmentally aware athletes looking for sustainable gear.

Whether you're seeking a dependable touring ski for your next adventure or prioritizing a lighter environmental footprint, the Atomic Backland 88 is a top choice. With its balanced performance, lightweight design, and sustainability-focused features, it’s built to handle the demands of modern mountain exploration.
