Atomic Backland 95 (Backcountry Touring Ski 2023/2024)

Lightweight and highly stable, the all-round touring ski Atomic Backland 95 features a lower-impact design built to reduce CO2 emissions while skiing it all.

Built for touring the entire mountain, the all-round Atomic Backland 95 is a ski that strikes the perfect balance of light weight uphill efficiency, and wide stability underfoot to confidently rip lines that catch your eye from the skin track. A reinterpretation of the original Backland, the new ski construction significantly reduces CO2 emissions by 30% with the use of locally sourced poplar wood, less fiberglass and resin, and waste-reducing sidewalls. The result is a lower-impact design that creates a lighter, stronger ski with more soulful performance. The All-Terrain Profile uses a new natural-wood-to-fiberglass ratio to change the thickness curve of the ski and add torsional stiffness – for enhanced climbing and optimized downhill performance on harder snow surfaces. HRZN 3D – the next generation succeeding original HRZN tech – features a uniquely beveled three-dimensional tip that further improves float in powder and handling in variable snow conditions. For the ultimate touring set up, choose an Atomic PreFit skin to match.

The promised reliability - even in changing snow conditions - was definitely confirmed by our testers. The "Atomic" won a medal for its strikingly beautiful design, and we congratulate it on silver in the snow style."
