Ski set containing skis Atomic Backland 95, bindings G3 Ion 12 100mm and Atomic skins.

Atomic Backland 95, skis that are proved among all touring skiers at all levels. Why? 'Cause not every day can be a powder day (we wish!) and the fact is you always have to deal with a range of conditions and terrain in touring. So, Atomic made Backland 95 a touring ski with all versatility you need. They’re the perfect mix of a freeride and a touring ski, ready for powder, crud, and even hardpack.

The Carbon Backbone and Ultra Light Woodcore make climbing a breeze and skiing really stable. This top model also features HRZN Tech in the tip for tackling the deep stuff when you can get it!

Atomic Backland 95 made for advanced skiers who want to make uphill easy, make downhill fun and simply rules on a powder.

Features:

• HRZN Tech Tip adds 10% more surface area at your ski tips. For flotation in powder plus less tip deflection and better tracking through chop
• Carbon Backbone provides exceptional agility and edge hold with no extra weight
• Ultra-Light Woodcore - lightweight Poplar and Caruba wood keeps weight down but without compromising downhill performance
• Cap Sidewall - full sidewall under the binding, from base to the top sheet, for controlled power transmission and great edge grip
