The Atomic Backland 89 SL touring ski is light and efficient on the ascent and reliable and stable with plenty of floats on the descent. The new ski construction is the result of a scientific life cycle assessment and reduces CO₂ emissions by 30% by using more poplar wood, less fiberglass and resin, and reduced-waste sidewalls.

HRZN 3D - the next generation of the original HRZN tech - features a uniquely beveled three-dimensional shovel that increases surface area for better flotation in powder and better handling in changing conditions. The All-Terrain profile uses a new ratio of natural wood to fiberglass to create a ski shape that improves ascent and optimizes downhill performance on harder snow surfaces. A carbon backbone adds stiffness along the entire length of the ski, while the poplar/caruba wood core keeps the ski light and maneuverable. All Mountain Rocker and a wider 89mm profile provide total adaptability on any terrain.

The Backland 89 SL is the ideal ski for those who want to move super easy through the mountains and make a lot of vertical meters. For the ultimate touring setup, simply choose the matching Atomic PreFit skin.

Features:

All Mountain Rocker 15/85/0
For piste or powder: early rocker up 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
Fiberglass layers make the ski supple and stable while being lightweight and dynamic.

Dura Cap Sidewall
The sidewall from the base to the topsheet provides good edge grip and has a rounded shape that increases durability,

Glossy Topsheet
High gloss topsheet for a polished, glassy finish and a smooth, absolutely premium look.

Side edge angle: 87°
87° side edge angle - for intuitive handling, easy ride and better grip.

Base side edge angle: 1.0°.
1.0° base side edge angle for easy turning, excellent edge grip and top tracking.
