2027 Atomic Backland 102 Skis

The Backland 102 strikes a great balance for ski tourers who care just as much about the descent as the climb. It keeps the weight reasonable for longer days while offering a versatile width and directional feel for skiing everything from soft snow to more variable conditions. It’s a strong choice for someone looking for one touring ski with a clear freeride 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 efficiency and downhill performance.
