Description
The Atomic Backland 88 is the ultimate all-around touring ski of the future – lightweight, versatile in every terrain, and made from more environmentally friendly materials.
The Atomic Backland 88 is a versatile, resource-conscious touring ski that shapes the future of the sport.
The construction, optimized on the basis of a scientific life cycle assessment, produces less production waste and 30% fewer CO2-equivalent emissions (compared with the Backland 85 from 2021), without sacrificing a gram of performance.
The reason: More raw materials with lower CO2 output are used, plus waste-reducing sidewalls.
In addition, the All-Terrain Profile with more poplar wood but less fiberglass and resin optimizes ski stability.
And with HRZN 3D, the beveled tip provides better float in powder.
It also works harmoniously with the Dura Cap sidewall – for direct power transfer from tip to sidewalls and edges.
The Backland 88 offers the perfect mix of flow and performance for ski tourers who venture all over the mountain.
For the ultimate touring setup, there's a matching Atomic PreFit skin.

HRZN 3D is a uniquely beveled three-dimensional tip that increases surface area for better float in deep snow and improved handling in changing conditions. Depending on the model the tip is reinforced with wood (Maverick and Maven: added stability and smoothness), wraps tip and tail (Bent: playful skiing) or is made of thin, perforated material (Backland: light, great float). HRZN Tech Tip and HRZN Tip&Tail add about 10 % more surface area for float and less bounce.
