2027 Atomic Backland 109 Skis

The Backland 109 gives powder-focused ski tourers plenty of ski for the descent without forgetting about the climb. We like the combination of generous flotation, a directional feel and a construction that remains reasonable for touring. It makes particular sense for bigger backcountry days when soft snow and the quality of the descent are high priorities.

Consider Another Option If

Consider another option if deep snow isn't a regular priority or you'd rather trade some flotation for a narrower, more uphill-focused touring ski.

• Big-mountain freeride ski touring
• Ski tourers who prioritize the descent without moving to a heavier freeride setup
• Powder, deep snow and variable backcountry conditions
• Skiers looking for a wide, directional touring ski

• FreeTour Profile: Uses more poplar wood and less fiberglass and resin to support downhill performance while maintaining a weight-conscious touring construction.
• HRZN 3D Backland: Adds surface area at the tip to support flotation in deeper snow.
• Ultra Light Woodcore: Combines poplar and caruba to balance low weight with the ski's intended performance.
• Powder Rocker: Combines pronounced tip and tail rocker with camber underfoot for maneuverability in powder, crud and chopped snow.
• Dura Cap Sidewall: Combines sidewall construction with a rounded shape for edge grip and durability.
