Men's Backland Touring Skis 88mm + Climbing Skins - Black/Blue/White

The Atomic Backland 88 is not just a ski; it's a trailblazer that's transforming the future of the sport while honoring our planet's limits. This all-terrain wonder is the result of a meticulous scientific life cycle assessment, and its lower-impact design is making waves in the skiing world. At the core of this innovation is the state-of-the-art All-Terrain Profile, which employs locally sourced poplar wood, reduces fiberglass and resin usage, and shapes a ski that offers exceptional stability, even on challenging surfaces. The introduction of HRZN 3D, the next generation of the original HRZN tech, is a game-changer. Its uniquely beveled tip enhances float in powder and seamlessly integrates into the Dura Cap sidewall, creating a hyper-responsive connection from tip to sidewall to edge. The Backland 88 is the go-to choice for versatile skiers who relish touring the entire mountain. With a slightly wider profile underfoot, it delivers soulful performance in any terrain.
