An incredibly lightweight and highly versatile all-round touring ski designed for women drawn to alpine touring, Atomic Backland 86 W SL is built with superlight SL Fiberglass, Ultra Light Woodcore construction and a Carbon Backbone to reduce overall weight for efficient uphill climbing. The result of this material combination is a ski that is super lightweight and excels at every aspect of backcountry skiing. The overall weight of this ski sits between Backland UL and regular Backland skis. Specifically shaped underfoot to allow for easier travel when climbing, especially on longer traverses, the All Mountain Rocker profile and HRZN Tech in the tip allow the ski to float in fresh snow. The cut-out notch in the tips makes for quick transitioning of Atomic’s Pre-Fit skins.

Features:

HRZN Tech Tip: HRZN Tech adds 10% more surface area at your ski tips. For awesome floatation in powder plus less tip deflection and better tracking through chop.

Ultra Light Woodcore: The poplar and caruba woodcore for skis that are all about low weight, like our touring skis.

Carbon Backbone: An ultra-lightweight carbon insert that runs the length of the ski like a stabilizing backbone. This provides exceptional agility and edge hold with no extra weight.

SL Fiberglass: High-tensile continuous fiberglass layers for a ski that is super lightweight while delivering very stable, smooth and energetic performance.
