Atomic Backland 80 PT 22/23 43537628

The Atomic Backland 80 PT 22/23 is a lightweight touring ski built for backcountry adventures. It focuses on efficient uphill travel while maintaining enough stability for varied snow conditions on the descent.

At 170 cm, the ski features a 112-79-101 sidecut profile and weighs 1250 grams per ski, offering a blend of float in softer snow and reliable control on firmer trails. The flat mounting area lets you choose a binding system that matches your touring setup, keeping overall weight down without locking you into a specific binding brand.

The 17.5-metre radius refers to the natural turn arc the ski tends to follow: this moderate radius makes it versatile for both quick link-ups and longer cruising turns. The sidecut—wider tip and tail around a narrower waist—helps initiate turns smoothly and provides enough surface at the tip and tail for improved flotation in powder and solid edge hold on firmer snow.

Atomic says about theBackland 80 PT 22/23

A ski specifically built for all-around piste touring, the Atomic Backland 80 PT offers the perfect blend of a lightweight touring ski with the stability of a ski built for cruising groomers. Ideal for ski touring on groomed terrain and skiers new to skinning, Light Woodcore optimizes the ski’s weight for comfortable climbing, while strong, cross-woven X Fiberglass makes the ski more torsionally rigid for better edge grip and control during the descent. The HRZN Tech tip offers 10% more surface area to allow the ski to track through the turn with less tip deflection. Dura Cap Sidewall construction works to further absorb shock for controlled power transmission and reliable handling on the downhill. A cut-out notch in the tip makes for transitioning Atomic’s PreFit skins a snap.
