Built for freeride ski tourers seeking big mountain adventure, the Atomic Backland 102 is driven to explore, climb and descend with commanding confidence. Featuring the same construction as the wider Backland 109, FreeTour Profile creates a touring ski with serious downhill power. A poplar and caruba Ultra Light Woodcore provides the ideal balance of low weight and optimum performance and the lightweight, three-dimensional HRZN 3D tip increases surface area for better float in deep snow conditions. Powder Rocker delivers a pronounced tip and tail with camber underfoot for effortless, playful maneuverability in deep powder, crud, and chop. A reinterpretation of the original Backland construction, it’s built with more wood and less fiberglass, metal, and resin to reduce material-based CO2 equivalent emissions by 26% (compared with the Backland 100, 2022). Developed with Austrian backcountry legend, Matthias Haunholder, it’s the soulful skiing performance and uphill efficiency of the Backland 102 that has him skiing deeper into the mountains with every tour.
