The Atomic Backland 100 Skis offer a 100 millimeter- waist width that pots right in sweet spot of versatility for front side and backside applications. Built with a lightweight wood core and a carbon backbone, the Backland 100 is a lot stronger than it feels when you pick it up. Agile, quick, and incredibly responsive, the Backland 100 figures well for skiers who are looking for something to tour on, but also want to use it in a resort setting. The 180 cm length comes in at a light 1350 grams per ski, making it totally light enough for technical ascents without sacrificing downhill performance, and that’s something that a lot of skiers are looking for these days, especially those who do not want to purchase more than one setup. When paired with a hybrid tech binding like an Atomic Shift, the Atomic Backland 100 is about as versatile as it comes. Frontside, backside, side country and backcountry, the skis just shine in any application and in any condition. The Atomic Backland 100 is a strong contender in the hybrid category of skis that are equally suited for both in and out of bounds skiing. If you are an advanced skier and looking for that one set up that will truly take you anywhere you want, these skis are worth their weight in gold.
