Atomic Backland 100
Another epic new addition to the Backland family, the Atomic Backland 100 will be bang on for experienced backcountry skiers looking for a beefy yet light and nimble ski that delivers both float and grunt.
The carbon backbone runs the length of the ski, giving it supreme edge hold with no extra weight.
Push the slightly soft shovel too hard and it will hook up but chill and let it do its thing and the stability from mid-shovel to the rear of the ski will deliver alpine-esque performance.
Lee reckons it skis more like the bombproof Bent Chetler than a twitchy touring rig, so would be ideal for advanced skiers looking for a solid platform that can cope with hardpack and inconsistent crud but is fit for floatage when the deep days roll round.
Verdict
Bang on for experienced backcountry skiers looking for a beefy yet light and nimble ski.
