Atomic Backland 102 Ski takes you deeper—lightweight touring efficiency meets downhill confidence
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Backland 102 hits the sweet spot for a touring ski—it’s light enough for long days out, but still has the backbone for confident descents. The 102mm waist feels stable in powder but doesn’t slow me down on the skin track. I love the blend of poplar and caruba in the core—it keeps things damp and predictable, even when conditions aren’t perfect."
Who It’s For
Intermediate to Expert Touring Skiers:
Designed for skiers who want to push deeper into the backcountry without sacrificing downhill stability. The Backland 102 is ideal for riders looking for a balance of uphill efficiency, float in powder, and dependable edge hold when the snow gets firm.
What It’s For
Backcountry Touring and Mixed-Snow Exploration:
With a 102mm waist, rocker-camber-rocker profile, and lightweight core, the Backland 102 thrives in varied conditions. From soft powder to crusty ridgelines, it pivots easily in tight spaces and grips well on skin tracks. Whether exploring alpine bowls, tree lines, or big traverses, this ski is built for the full backcountry experience.
Why We Like It
Lightweight, Versatile, and Confidence-Boosting:
We like the Backland 102 for how it blends touring efficiency with real downhill fun. The poplar and caruba wood core keeps the ski light but damp, while carbon reinforcement adds rigidity without weight. Its Powder Rocker profile makes float and turn initiation effortless, while the sintered base ensures smooth gliding across long approaches. It’s a touring ski that never feels limiting.
