ATOMIC Backland 88 Touring Skis | Lightweight All-Round Performance
Discover the ultimate balance of uphill efficiency and downhill prowess with the ATOMIC Backland 88, the definitive polyvalent ski for the modern tourer. Engineered for a wide spectrum of backcountry conditions, from fresh powder stashes to wind-scoured hardpack, this ski is your trusted partner for any adventure beyond the ropes. Designed for both men and women, the Backland 88 is the ideal choice for adult, advanced-expert skiers seeking a single ski to conquer it all.
The Backland 88´s core mission is to make the climb as enjoyable as the descent. Its remarkably low weight, achieved through an intelligent Light Woodcore construction, significantly reduces fatigue on long ascents, allowing you to save precious energy for the ride down. The All-Terrain Profile is meticulously crafted for versatility. This profile, combined with the ski´s Directional Shape, ensures intuitive handling and stability no matter what the mountain throws at you.
When it´s time to descend, the Backland 88 truly shines. The innovative HRZN 3D Backland technology in the tip creates a wider, beveled surface that dramatically increases floatation in deep snow and allows the ski to track smoothly through variable and choppy conditions without deflecting. This means more confidence and less effort. On firmer snow, the Dura Cap Sidewall construction provides exceptional power transmission and a solid, confident edge grip for carving precise and powerful turns. With a versatile waist width in the 86-90 mm range, it offers the perfect compromise between float and agility. The All Mountain Rocker profile, featuring tip rocker and substantial camber underfoot, ensures easy turn initiation in soft snow while maintaining unwavering stability and edge-to-edge quickness on groomed or firm terrain.
Finished with a durable and Glossy Topsheet, the Backland 88 is built to withstand the rigors of backcountry travel season after season. It represents a more sustainable choice, with a manufacturing process that significantly reduces its carbon footprint.
