2027 Atomic Backland 101 W Women's Skis

The Backland 101 W hits a nice balance for ski tourers who still want to enjoy the way down. It keeps the weight reasonable for the climb while its 101 mm waist and freeride-oriented design make it well suited to softer snow and varied backcountry conditions. It's a good choice for someone who wants one touring ski with a clear downhill focus.

Consider Another Option If

Consider another option if your priorities fall outside freeride-oriented ski touring or you want a ski designed around a different balance of uphill and downhill priorities.
