Atomic Backland 86 SL backcountry ski

The Backland 86 SL by Atomic is a super lightweight backcountry ski, ideal for all-round touring and designed for quick ascents and fast descents. This model, suitable for skiers from beginner to expert, reinterprets the SL construction with an innovative low-impact design. Its lightweight and agile poplar/carob wood core, combined with the Carbon Backbone that adds stiffness along the entire length, makes it outstanding in ascent. The All-Terrain profile, with a new mix of natural wood and fiberglass, optimizes performance even in descent, even on the hardest snow surfaces. The HRZN 3D technology increases the surface area of the tip for superior floatation in fresh snow, while reducing swing weight for an easier, faster, and more powerful ride. The All-Mountain Rocker profile 15/85/0 offers great versatility between groomed and off-piste, while the Directional Shape with minimal tail rocker ensures maximum contact, grip, and stability. The Dura Cap Sidewall construction guarantees excellent edge hold and increased durability. With a featherweight of only 1150 grams (in the 172 cm size), edge angles of 87° (side) and 1.0° (base) for intuitive skiing, and a sleek glossy top finish, this ski offers total confidence on any terrain, whether fresh snow, hard pack, or bumps.
