The Atomic Backland 80 UL Ski is the pinnacle of high-performance ultralight mountaineering skis. As the successor to the , the Backland 80 UL represents an evolution in Atomic’s quest for excellence. Central to the Backland 80 UL's design is the Ultra Light Woodcore, complemented by carbon fiberglass layers and a Carbon Backbone. This combination ensures a ski that is not only exceptionally light but also stable, responsive, and enjoyable across a wide range of snow conditions. The updated carbon fiberglass layup enhances energy transfer for lively, powerful turn.
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.
