The Atomic Backland 88 + Skin 88/89 26/27 set combines one of the most versatile touring skis in the Atomic line-up with a climbing skin cut precisely to match – so you can head straight into the season without any extra accessories. The Backland 88 is made for ski tourers who see the whole mountain as their playground: an 88 mm waist and around 1300 g at 176 cm deliver the ideal balance of efficient climbing and stable, playful descending. Its lower-impact design is based on a scientific life cycle assessment and cuts CO₂ emissions by 30% compared with the Backland 85 from 2021.
In its construction, the ski relies on more poplar wood, less fiberglass and resin, and waste-reducing sidewalls. The beveled HRZN 3D tip adds float in deep snow and merges directly into the tough Dura Cap sidewall – the result is a hyper-responsive connection all the way to the edge and secure grip even on hard snow. The Skin 88/89 included in the set fits the ski to the millimeter, so there is nothing left for you to worry about.
