Atomic N Backland 85

The Atomic N Backland 85 is a purpose-built all-round touring ski, designed for adventurers who want one stick for dawn patrols, after-work laps, and longer backcountry missions. Its construction was developed through a scientific life cycle assessment, cutting CO2 emissions by 30% through locally sourced poplar wood, reduced fiberglass and resin, and waste-reducing sidewalls. The result is a lightweight, stable ski that still delivers dependable edge grip and torsion when the terrain firms up.

At the front, the next-generation HRZN 3D tip broadens in three dimensions to float more confidently in powder and variable snow, while the All-Terrain Profile rebalances natural wood and fiberglass for a smooth flex and improved hard-snow stability. The Dura Cap Sidewall runs from base to topsheet for solid edge grip with a rounded profile that shrugs off knocks, and precise 1.0° base and 87° side edge angles make turning intuitive and tracking aggressive.
