The Atomic Backland 86 SL W is designed for women ski tourers who appreciate hard-fought climbs as much as breathtaking descents.

Atomic has scientifically analyzed the life cycle of the Backland ski to develop a gentler construction that still meets the highest performance standards. The Backland 86 SL W is a reinterpretation of the original Backland SL construction and reduces CO₂ emissions by 30% - with more wood, less fiberglass, less resin and reduced waste sidewalls. The state-of-the-art All-Terrain profile uses a new ratio of natural wood to fiberglass to create a ski shape that increases the ski's versatility on any terrain, especially harder surfaces. With HRZN 3D - the next generation of the original HRZN technology - the new construction features a uniquely beveled shovel that increases flotation in powder and changing snow conditions.

The ultra-light wood core made of caruba and poplar wood combines with the carbon backbone for strong downhill performance. For the ultimate touring setup, choose a matching Atomic PreFit skin.

Features:

All Mountain Rocker 15/85/0
For piste or powder: early rocker front or front and back for high versatility.

HRZN 3D Backland
A wider, specially bent-up 3D shovel provides a larger contact area, resulting in a ski with better floatation in powder and optimized handling in changing snow conditions.

All-Terrain Profile
Locally sourced wood is used here, but less fiberglass - resulting in a lighter, stronger and more versatile ski profile.

Ultra Light Woodcore
Poplar and Karuba woodcore for skis with the perfect mix of light weight and top performance.

Carbon Backbone
Ultra-light carbon insert from tip to tail, stabilizing the ski like a backbone.

Fiberglass
