It's still built around the same core philosophy — ultralight touring performance that doesn't fold the moment things get technical — just refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foundation is Atomic's Ultra Light Woodcore, a blend of wood species tuned for the right balance of low weight and durability, reinforced by a carbon backbone and carbon-fiberglass layers that give the ski real pop and stability at speed rather than the vague, noodly feel lighter skis often settle for. Atomic reworked the fiberglass layup specifically to add more energy into kick turns and more composure at higher speeds — the kind of refinement that matters most when you're deep into a long tour and getting tired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mostly cambered profile (85%) paired with Dura Cap sidewalls delivers confident edge hold on icy, exposed terrain, while the tail stays flat rather than rockered for extra grip when things steepen up. Up front, the HRZN 3D tip uses a perforated design to shave swing weight while still keeping the tip riding high in variable and deeper snow — small details that add up over a full day of touring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a ski for climbers first and skiers second, but one that doesn't sacrifice much on the way down for it — built for anyone chasing vertical, personal bests, or long backcountry days where every gram on your feet matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltra Light Woodcore (mixed wood species)\u003cbr\u003eCarbon Backbone + Carbon Fiberglass layup\u003cbr\u003eDura Cap sidewalls for edge power and durability\u003cbr\u003eHRZN 3D tip (perforated, reduced swing weight)\u003cbr\u003eAll-Mountain Rocker \/ All-Terrain Profile: ~85% camber, flat tail\u003cbr\u003eWeight: ~2100g per pair (170cm)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atomic","offers":[{"title":"156cm","offer_id":49889097908472,"sku":null,"price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"163cm","offer_id":49889097941240,"sku":null,"price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"170cm","offer_id":49889097974008,"sku":null,"price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/8391\/8072\/files\/Backland-80-1_879c53a3-bede-4413-9ed2-7b0875cb2af0.jpg?v=1787777247","url":"https:\/\/millersportsaspen.com\/products\/backland-80-ul-ski","provider":"Miller Sports ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
