Atomic describes the Backland 78 as the perfect all-around touring ski for females who love the uphill as much as the down. We tend to agree, and would also add juniors to the equation. With a predictable turn shape and a compliant flex, the Backland platform is a great, cost-effective way to get your wiggles out. The light wood core construction is not demanding but still open to input as you find your own way down the mountain. The shock-absorbing Dura Cap sidewall makes the edges durable and reliable in piste or backcountry conditions. The Atomic Backland 78 Women is an excellent entry point for fitness enthusiasts and new backcountry explorers.
- HRZN tech tip makes it easy to initiate turns and stay afloat in soft snow.
- Dura Cap sidewalls absorb vibration and resist impact while adding confidence to turns.
- All Mountain 15% rocker helps in variable conditions found in the backcountry.
- Ultra Light Woodcore with fiberglass laminates is a very friendly feeling build.
- Excellent for beginner & intermediates with room to grow after that.
