Atomic. What we like: A quality lineup from racing to backcountry.

It won’t float quite like the craziest and most rockered powder ski, but the Backland 117 still has enough tip and tail rise to be more than adequate to have fun no matter how deep the snow. The Backland 100 is the lightest and zippiest ski from Atomic that still prioritizes downhill performance.
