About this product
The Atomic Backland 101 (2025, Women's) is a backcountry touring ski built to balance uphill efficiency with genuine downhill capability. Its 101mm waist width sits at a practical midpoint, providing enough float in powder without sacrificing agility on the skintrack. The rocker/camber/rocker profile encourages quick pivots and playful handling in soft snow while the cambered midsection maintains reliable edge grip on firmer, steeper terrain. Available in three lengths (156, 164, and 172 cm), with turn radii ranging from 16 to 18 meters depending on length, the ski suits intermediate to advanced riders tackling trees, technical lines, and variable conditions. The poplar and caruba core keeps weight manageable (the pair weighs approximately 2,268 g) while delivering dampness underfoot. Fiberglass laminates add structural integrity without bulk, and Dura Cap half-cap construction further trims weight while improving durability. A sintered base handles long traverses and flat exits efficiently. The ski carries a limited two-year manufacturer warranty.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Atomic Backland 101 W as a lightweight, versatile backcountry touring ski that excels in powder and variable snow. The ultralight poplar and caruba woodcore earns repeated credit for delivering impressive pop and power without adding weight, making uphill travel efficient and descents lively. The HRZN 3D tip is widely noted for improving float and making turn initiation easier compared to earlier Backland models. Most reviewers position it as a strong daily-driver touring ski for mixed conditions. The most common criticism is limited hardpack performance: the extended rocker profile shortens the effective edge, and several sources flag that it struggles in hard chop, chunder, and firm snow, making it a less ideal choice for skiers who prioritize groomed or icy terrain.
