Atomic Backland 85 23/24 Touring Ski
Initiating a new era of ski design, the Atomic Backland 85 sets out to shape the future of ski touring with its new 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 CO2 emissions by 30% with the use of locally sourced 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 new 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.

Made from Poplar wood, this core optimizes the ski’s weight without sacrificing any shock absorption or stability.
A broad, uniquely beveled, perforated 3D tip that increases surface area for better float and reduced swing weight. HRZN Tech Tip & Tail construction features a fully beveled tip and tail that delivers 10% more surface area, without adding any width or weight to the ski, for awesome flotation in deep snow, less tip deflection and better tracking through chop. This technology also creates a more relaxed tip and tail for more playful, progressive performance – making it the ultimate design for freeride and freestyle skiers.
Thanks to the continuous fiberglass layers, the ski is harmonious and stable. Stable to ride, while at the same time it scores with low weight and high dynamics.
Sidewall from base to top sheet, for controlled power transmission and great edge grip. The rounded shape of the Dura Cap is a fantastic durability feature as it picks up fewer dents and dings
Precisely tuned edges are an important part of ski performance. A dull edge cannot penetrate the snow surface and will skid through a turn. An edge that is too sharp will grab and catch the snow surface creating unstable performance. The Atomic skis are prepared with a side edge angle of 87.0° for more intuitive handling, easier skiing and better grip on hard snow and ice.
All skis from the Atomic factory are delivered with steel edges that have been carefully machined with a precise base edge bevel for specific performance characteristics. Base edge angles between 0.8° and 1.6° lightly lift the ski edges off the snow for easy turning while maintaining edge grip and tracking throughout the turn.
For all snow conditions and any terrain, both on and off-piste. An early rise either just in the tip, or in both tip and tail, makes this rocker super versa
