If you're looking for one touring ski to serve all of your human powered needs, you've come to the right place. The Atomic Backland 98 W Skis are all about striking that perfect balance between uphill ease and downhill performance. They're exceptionally light pure touring skis that are easy to slog uphill, flick through kick turns, and maneuver through technical terrain. But they maintain a versatile waist width and freeride design that makes them fun and predictable riding hard on the way down.

Shape
Directional Shape
HRZN Tech Tip – HRZN Tech adds 10% more surface area at your ski tips. For awesome flotation in powder plus less tip deflection and better tracking through chop.
Core
Ultra Light Woodcore – The combination of caruba and poplar wood makes this core ultra light, for skis that are all about low weight.
Laminates
Carbon Backbone – An ultra-lightweight carbon insert that runs the length of the ski like a stabilizing backbone.
Fiberglass – Continuous fiberglass layers create a ski that is smooth and stable while remaining lightweight and dynamic.
Sidewalls
Dura Cap Sidewall – Sidewall from base to topsheet for controlled power transmission and great edge grip. The rounded shape of the Dura Cap is a fantastic durability feature as it picks up fewer dents and dings.

Terrain
Alpine Touring Also 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
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/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.

Tail Type:
Partial Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial 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.
