Atomic Backland 85 W is a perfectly balanced touring ski for all female skiers, with a specific shape for hiking and HRZN Tech in the tip for great floatation in powder. Comes with pre-cut skins included in the price.
Bindings are sold seperately.
If you want a balanced touring ski for all your touring days then Atomic Backland 85 W is your stick – light for climbing, floaty in powder but also strong and edgy enough for getting you there and back. Inside you’ve got an Ultra Light Woodcore
made from poplar/caruba and the ski is shaped for an easy hike and safe grip, especially on longer traverses. Then you’ve got HRZN Tech Tips with 10% more surface area for awesome floatation in powder plus less tip deflection and better
tracking through chop. Extra stability comes from carbon fibers along the ski – allowing you to lay down the power on and off piste. We offer it in a nice purple/pink design and have prefit skins to match.

If you would like your skis set up and waxed, please send an e-mail sales@theski-shop.co.uk after placing your order with the following information below.
Please include your name and order number. Otherwise, skis will be sent out and will require waxing and setting up at your own convenience.

Information & details required from you for ski setup:
- Skier's Age.
- Skiers Height.
- Skiers Weight.
- Boot brand/make & sole length in millimeters. Usually found embossed on side of heels. eg 315mm
- Skier classification: Please pick one: Type -1, Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, Type 3+
Type -1
Skiers looking for a lower release setting than type 1. Recommended for beginners over 25 years old.
Type 1
Ski conservatively. Prefer slower speeds. Ski on easy to moderate slopes. Intermediate level, but not in good physical fitness. Good skiers, but with smooth supple style, but emphasizing safety. Favour lower than average release/retention settings – This corresponds to increased risk of inadvertent binding release in order to gain increased release capacity in a fall.
Type 2
Intermediate skiers in good physical condition. Prefer a variety of speeds. Ski on varied terrain, including most difficult trails. All skiers who do not meet all the descriptions of the other types.
Type 3
Ski aggressively. Normally ski at high speeds. Prefer moderate to steep terrain. Favour higher than average release/retention settings. This corresponds to decreased capability to release in a fall in order to decrease the risk of inadvertent binding release. (Type 3 should not be used by skiers of less than 22kg)
Type 3+
Very strong skiers, on challenging terrain. Skiers looking for higher release settings than type 3. N.B Skier type does not have the same meaning as skier ability. I.E, an advanced skier who skis all-terrain but is not particularly aggressive may be able to use type 2 settings.
Using the boot sole length you give, we set the binding to that length, but the final adjustments and checks can only be made with the actual boot. Heel and toe units on ALL boots have to conform to a certain size and shape. However, sometimes boots especially older models or well-worn ones, may vary in length compared to another stating the same measurements hence it is important that you do have them professionally double-checked. We recommend that you have your skis double-checked by your local or resort ski shop with your actual boot.
