The Atomic Backland 85 26/27 is the all-round touring ski for everyone who wants to experience the whole mountain – from quick after-work laps and early-morning dawn patrols to extended backcountry trips. With a waist of around 85 mm it strikes the balance between uphill efficiency and downhill fun, and its forgiving character makes it a great match for beginners and experienced ski tourers alike. What sets it apart is its lower-impact design: based on a scientific life cycle assessment, Atomic has cut material-based CO₂ emissions by 30% (compared with the Backland 85, 2021).
In terms of construction, the Backland 85 relies on more poplar wood, less fiberglass and resin, and waste-reducing sidewalls. The HRZN 3D tip – the next generation of the proven HRZN tech – uses its broad, three-dimensional shape to deliver more float in powder and variable snow. The All-Terrain Profile increases torsional stiffness through a tuned wood-to-fiberglass ratio and adds noticeable stability on hard snow thanks to its optimized flex pattern. Add a perfectly fitting Atomic PreFit skin and you have your complete touring setup in no time.
