Atomic Backland 89 SL (Backcountry Touring Ski 2023/2024)

Product Summary

Due to its lighweight construction the Atomic Backland 89 SL is easy to handle not only downhill but also during longer ascents. The Atomic Backland 89 SL's full retail price is 699,99 €. The Ski costs roughly 90 € more than the average price of all Backcountry Touring Skis, making it an upper mid-range model. The ski is very smooth and forgiving. It's the perfect tool for intermediate skiers. The Backland 89 SL is a more off-piste oriented ski which rides great in deep powder. Thanks to its versatility however, it is also fun on groomers from time to time. The ski is available from 162 to 183cm.

The ski in details

Whether going up or down, the lower-impact design of Atomic Backland 89 SL creates an all-round touring ski for racking up vert and moving fast in the snow.

The Atomic Backland 89 SL is lightweight and efficient on the way up, and reliable and stable with great flotation on the down. The result of a scientific life cycle assessment, the new ski construction significantly reduces CO2 emissions by 30% with the use of more poplar wood, less fiberglass and resin, and waste-reducing sidewalls. HRZN 3D – the next generation succeeding original HRZN tech – features a uniquely beveled three-dimensional tip that increases surface area for better float in powder and improved handling in variable conditions. The All-Terrain Profile uses a new natural-wood-to-fiberglass ratio to create a ski shape that enhances climbing and optimizes downhill performance on harder snow surfaces. A Carbon Backbone adds stiffness throughout the length of the ski, while the poplar/caruba woodcore keeps the ski lightweight and nimble. All Mountain Rocker and a wider 89mm profile allow for total adaptability on any type of terrain. This is the ideal ski for those seeking to move superlight through the mountains and rack up a lot of vertical. For the ultimate touring set up, choose an Atomic PreFit skin to match.
