Light, wide, stable: the Atomic Backland 98 W is one of the most versatile freeride touring skis in the Backland collection and shows first-class performance in a wide variety of snow conditions and terrain.

Designed specifically for female touring enthusiasts, it brings light weight for easy ascents. Its Ultra Light Woodcore and wide shape offer the perfect mix of lightweight touring efficiency and freeride performance. The Carbon Backbone runs through the ski from front to back like a spine, giving it plenty of agility and reliable edge grip on the descent.

The intuitive and easy handling of the Backland 98 W touring ski is provided by the revolutionary HRZN Tech in the shovel, which allows the ski to easily cope with even very difficult snow conditions. Now just put on Atomic's PreFit skins for the ultimate touring setup.

+ Fritschi Vipec Evo 12 bindings

One binding, three colours. The Fritschi Vipec EVO bindings can easily be colour-coordinated with your outfit. And the extended DIN setting range of 4-12 covers the safety needs of the vast majority of ski tourers and freeriders.

The Fritschi Evo 12 is a light-weight system offering the greatest possible safety in addition to an easy, ergonomic climbing technique and precise and agile control to ski downhill.

All parts are manufactured in Switzerland and assembled into high-quality products in Reichenbach. After the assembly, every binding undergoes a meticulous quality control process, including a functional test. In other words, the Vipec Evo is now even more stable and durable.

Features:
• Solid stop in front to step in - Easy step-in
The tip of the boot is optimally positioned by means of a solid stop in front and a positioning guide. Responding to slight pressure, the system closes with the pin levers engaging precisely in the inserts.
The sequence of movements is comparable with that of an alpine binding.

• Lateral release with DIN-setting at the toe - In front, same as in alpine bindings
The pin-binding with lateral release and DIN set-ting at the toe, where the lateral forces are acting in the event of a fall.

• Elasticity of 13 mm - Releasing only if necessary
The highest elasticity of 13 mm prevents an un-wanted release and cushions any lateral impact so that the ski always maintains a firm grip.

• Release Lever - Immediate release of the boot with front release
After the release of the heel, the boot tips for-ward. Due to the pressure of the front of the boot on the Release Lever, the boot is also immedi-ately released by the toe unit.

• Emergency release when climbing - Solid support while climbing and safety in an emergency
The boot is fixed and held in the middle, but the binding will release in response to high active forces. Clamping systems must be blocked while climb-ing to ensure stability.

• Complete easy handling package - Safety in any terrain and in all conditions
Switching from downhill to uphill mode and vice versa is very simple without having to step out of the binding. The three ergonomically walk mode levels can also be changed in no time with a pole.
No other pin binding offers this level of comfort in all functions.

• Solid, non-turning heel - Precise and safe control of skis
The heel unit always remains laterally stable. Unlike other pin bindings, the power flow is not in-terrupted by a rotating movement when the skis turn.

• Incl. color clips
