Atomic Backland 89 SL Skis

Efficient on the up and stable on the down, the Atomic Backland 89 SL is a true backcountry ski with reliability at the forefront. Using Poplar and Karuba wood in the core, along with a Carbon Backbone, Atomic found a compelling blend of durability, weight, and ski performance, eschewing the extremes. The all-terrain profile remains predictable in variable snow, while the Dura Cap Sidewall helps with edge bite in hard snow. The notched tip plays well with the excellent precut skins, slotting in for a sleek, low-profile fit. With its middle-of-the-road construction that emphasizes a balanced approach to the mountains, the Backland 89 SL from Atomic is a smart choice to bring along on any adventure.
