Exceptional in powder and more than capable on any firm surface you’re likely to encounter in the backcountry, the eco-friendly Atomic Backland 109 Skis are re-imagined with a lower impact construction using more wood and less fiberglass and resin. Featuring a HRZN 3D tip for greater float and easy maneuvering on sketchy terrain, the Backland 109 delivers a lot of bang for the buck (and the weight).

Rocker Type

Powder Rocker– 25% Tip Rocker / 55% Camber / 20% Tail Rocker

Shape

HRZN 3D Backland Tip– Backland’s lightweight HRZN 3D uses a thin, perforated material to create a ski with low swing weight.

Core

Ultra Light Woodcore– Light Poplar and Caruba woods

Laminates

Reduced Fiberglass and Resin– Life Cycle Assessment analysis showed Fiberglass and Resin contributed disproportionately to the skis carbon footprint; more wood and less fiberglass, resin and metal reduces carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by 26%

Hardwood Binding Reinforcement

Topsheet with More Recycled Material

Sidewalls

Dura Cap Sidewall– Vertical underfoot with cap at the tips and tails

Base

Atomic Base– High-density sintered bases that are fast in a variety of snow conditions and accept wax readily.

Edges

Base Edge Angle– 1.3˚

Side Edge Angle– 3˚

Binding Compatibility

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

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.

Skis: No Bindings

Ability Level: Intermediate-Advanced Intermediate-AdvancedWhether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type: Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/RockerRocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Turning Radius: Medium Medium17-22 m radius is best for all-mountain and park & pipe.

Core/Laminates: Wood

Tail Type: Partial Twin Tip Partial Twin TipPartial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
