Retail $900. Designed for chasing personal bests and tracking massive vert, the ultralight Atomic Backland 80 UL is fueled for fast and light ski touring. Constructed with a narrower waist than its wider 86mm counterpart and a poplar and caruba Ultra Light Woodcore, the ski delivers the perfect balance of low weight and optimum performance making it a super-efficient climber and stable on the down. An ultra-lightweight carbon insert that runs the length of the ski acts as a stabilizing backbone while the HRZN Tech Tip & Tail construction adds 10% more surface area for better float in deep snow and decreased tip deflection in chop and crud. All Mountain Rocker provides an early rise in the tip for easier, more versatile handling. The cut-out notch in the tip allows for quick fixing of dedicated Atomic PreFit skins. The ski features 15% rocker and 85% camber, along with a flat tail. It is paired with Dura Cap Sidewalls, that provide exceptional edge hold on icy slopes. The 15% rocker, though modest, is complemented by the new HRZN 3D tip, which enlarges the tip’s surface area for improved flotation while reducing swing weight for effortless turn initiation.
