Atomic Backland 86 SL ski for ski mountaineering

The Backland 86 SL by Atomic is a super lightweight ski for all-day mountain touring, designed for fast ascents and descents. Reinterpreting the original construction of the Backland SL, this ski features a new low-impact design, resulting from a life cycle assessment that has led to reduced production material waste and a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions. The All-Terrain profile uses natural wood and fiberglass in new proportions, creating a ski that enhances climbing and optimizes descent on harder snow surfaces. The carbon backbone adds stiffness along the entire length of the ski, while the poplar/carbon core keeps the ski light and agile. The HRZN 3D, the new generation of the original HRZN Tech, features a tapered tip that increases the ground footprint to improve floatation in fresh snow, while simultaneously reducing swing weight for an easier, faster, and more powerful ride. Whether it's powder snow, hardpack, bumps, or anything else, the Backland 86 SL offers total security on any terrain for ski mountaineering.
