Product Info
The Atomic Backland 85 UL Skis are seriously lightweight. Coming in at less than 1kg per ski, these are the perfect thing to bring with you when your day calls for thousands of feet of vert, hundreds of kick turns, and probably a jump turn or two on the way down. They're like little lightsabers for your feet, effortlessly flickable, but deadly precise. And in addition to being machines built for the destruction of technical lines, they also make for darn good corn skis, with Atomic's HRZN Tech tips letting you plane over smooth snow and surf across open faces at speed.

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.
Carbon Fiberglass – Carbon fiberglass composite layers produce an ultralight ski that offers ultimate stability and power for highly dynamic performance.
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
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber Rocker/Camber skis pair a traditional cambered profile underfoot with an elongated, early rise tip borrowed from fully rockered skis. This profile places the front contact point further back from the tip, while the rear contact point remains close to the tail. The rockered tip allows for better flotation and less edge catch for increased float in deep snow, while the cambered rear stores and transmits energy similarly to a fully cambered ski.

More
Tail Type
Flat This is your traditional tail, designed to have edge contact all the way through the tail, and only designed for skiing forward. This is also preferred for alpine touring, as you can stick the tails of your skis in the snow.
