Atomic Backland 117 Ski 2022

Why We Like The Backland 117 Ski

The Backland 117 Ski is Atomic’s widest backcountry ski, it lets us trudge up steep skin tracks and float down deep powder. It has that uncanny combination of feeling light on the ascent and charging hard when it’s time to reap what you sow. The Powder Rocker includes rocker in the tip and tail for playing in powder, while the camber underfoot ensures edge control whenever we come across variable snow. HRZN Tech adds 10% more surface area to the tip to help us stay afloat on the descent and ascent.
