For freeriders who live for the skin track and the deep days that follow, the Atomic Backland 109 is built to charge big terrain with confidence and control. Designed for ambitious backcountry skiers like Chris Rubens, this ski fuses powerful downhill capability with uphill efficiency, creating a perfectly balanced touring machine for all-day missions and high-alpine objectives.

The FreeTour Profile integrates more poplar wood and less metal, fiberglass, and resin, giving the ski a natural flex and a smoother, more responsive feel. A poplar and caruba Ultra Light Woodcore keeps weight to a minimum without compromising strength, while a full ash inlay underfoot enhances binding retention and durability in rugged conditions. The HRZN 3D tip adds surface area for improved float in deep snow, while the Powder Rocker profile with camber underfoot provides confident handling through powder, chop, and mixed terrain. Reinforced with fiberglass layers and protected by Dura Cap Sidewalls, the Backland 109 is built to last — and its lower-carbon construction reduces material-based CO₂ emissions by 26% compared to previous designs.

Lively, stable, and light underfoot, the Backland 109 brings freeride touring to life — a ski that climbs efficiently, surfs powder effortlessly, and descends with serious intent.
