Built for adventurous female ski tourers seeking freeride exploration, the Atomic Backland 101 W is designed to climb, descend, and flow through the mountains with confidence and style. Developed with input from athlete Amie Engerbretson, this ski delivers soulful performance and smooth uphill efficiency for those who chase untracked lines and endless descents.

Sharing the same lightweight construction as the wider Backland 108 W, the Backland 101 W features the FreeTour Profile, which uses more poplar wood and less fiberglass, metal, and resin to create a harmonious flex pattern with powerful downhill performance. The poplar and caruba Ultra Light Woodcore balances low weight with exceptional stability, while the HRZN 3D tip increases surface area for added float in deep snow. The Powder Rocker—with pronounced tip and tail rocker and camber underfoot—ensures playful handling and effortless maneuverability in powder, chop, and variable snow.

A reinterpretation of the original Backland design, the Backland 101 W achieves a 26% reduction in CO₂ equivalent emissions (compared with the Backland 100, 2022) by incorporating more sustainable materials without compromising performance. Confident, smooth, and agile, this ski is made for women who seek adventure beyond the resort and deeper into the mountains.
