Looking for a powder hungry touring ski that doesn’t weigh a ton? The Atomic Backland 108 W Skis are the droids you seek. An all new construction with less environmental impact starts with a lightweight Poplar and Caruba wood core, uses less fiberglass and resin in the layup, and specs hardwood instead of metal for a binding retention plate, and since they still rip like Atomics we’re totally in favor.

-    Terrain:    Big Mountain, Powder, Alpine Touring                                    Big MountainBig mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail.                    PowderThese skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.                    Alpine TouringAlso known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.           Â
