The Atomic Backland 100 22/23 is a lightweight touring ski made for backcountry adventures. It’s designed to help you tackle skin tracks and earn your turns, then cruise through varied snow conditions when you drop in.
At 180 cm, the Backland 100 balances a 100 mm waist with a 129.5/100/120 mm sidecut, giving enough float in softer snow while still holding an edge on firmer slopes. The 19.2 m turn radius offers a mix of stability at speed and responsiveness for tighter turns. With a flat binding mount pattern, you can choose your preferred touring or alpine binding setup. Weighing in at 1,380 g per ski, it keeps your uphill slog feeling lighter without sacrificing downhill performance.
The turn radius refers to the hypothetical circle you’d carve if you held an edge all the way through a turn—here, 19.2 m means the ski feels balanced between quick arcs and long, drawn-out curves. The sidecut measurement (tip/waist/tail) describes how the ski’s varying widths affect both flotation in deep snow and grip on groomed runs. And at roughly 1.38 kg per ski, the Backland 100 helps reduce fatigue on long ascents while still providing a solid ride on the way down.
