Product Info
Updated and better than ever, the Atomic Backland Expert UL W Alpine Touring Ski Boots are for fast and light ski touring with lots of time spent on the skin track. Tech like a frictionless pivot, stable glass fiber-infused shell, and strong Prolite construction make the Backland Expert seriously good at what it does. And with a Boa® Fit System lower closure, all it takes is one twist to engage a great fit. These boots come with a low calf height specifically engineered for smaller calves and shins.

Fit

The key is Memolink, Atomic's special additive that improves the moldability and stretch of their plastics. Expansion can be up to 6mm forefoot width and up to 10mm ankle width, resulting in a permanent and complete anatomical fit in minutes. See your bootfitter for details.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether 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.
