Backland 117 delivers ultimate freeride touring performance in a wide and lightweight package. At 117mm underfoot this is Atomic’s widest freeride touring ski, but still super light thanks to a full-length Carbon Backbone and Ultra Power Woodcore. The Powder Rocker and revolutionary HRZN Tech in the tip deliver more surface area for maximum flotation in deep pow. Capable of charging through crud and chop with total confidence, the Dura Cap Sidewall allows for smooth and stable handling on harder snow. They pair perfectly with the 100% mohair Atomic MultiFit Skins, for maximum uphill performance. Created for big mountain skiers dropping big lines in big terrain, Atomic Backland 117 offers next level performance for a next level backcountry skiing experience.

• Ultra Light Woodcore
  • The poplar and Caruba woodcore creates a balance of low weight and optimum performance. 
• Carbon Backbone

• Fiberglass
