OUR TEST OF THE ATOMIC BACKLAND 89 SL W
MANUFACTURER’S OPINION
Designed for demanding ski tourers, the Atomic Backland 89 SL W is a high-end ski designed for those who want it all: lightness on the ascent, stability on the descent, and versatility for all snow conditions. With its advanced technologies and design optimized for female morphologies, this model accompanies you with ease in all your alpine adventures.
A ski designed to perform, without weighing you down
Thanks to its ultra-light wood core reinforced with carbon, the Backland 89 SL W weighs only 1,220 g (in size 174 cm), while offering rigidity and responsiveness. Whether you’re making conversions on a steep slope or tackling a sustained descent, this ski remains efficient, dynamic, and reassuring.
Increased versatility thanks to its 89 mm waist
With its intermediate width, the Backland 89 SL W offers an excellent compromise between grip on hard snow and float in fresh snow. This ski excels on all types of terrain, from technical slopes to light off-piste, including the changing snows typical of high-altitude touring.
Technologies for a smooth and intuitive glide
Equipped with Carbon Backbone technology, it benefits from reinforced longitudinal rigidity for more precision in turns. The HRZN Tech technology in the tip improves float and reduces vibrations, ensuring a smooth ride, even in choppy or unstable snow. Result: a stable and forgiving ski that inspires confidence in challenging passages.
Reliability and robustness for long outings
The careful and durable construction of the Backland 89 SL W guarantees excellent longevity, even in difficult conditions. It withstands impacts and maintains its performance season after season — a safe choice for ski tourers who go out often, for long periods, and far.
