Backland 65 UL Ski + Skins - 2026

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"When I’m chasing speed on big vert days, I reach for the Backland 65 UL. It’s insanely light, skins fast, and holds surprisingly well on descents. The HRZN tip punches through crust and chop, and the pre-fit skins make for seamless transitions. It’s basically my race weapon for serious missions."

When every second counts and every ounce matters, we rely on the Atomic Backland 65 UL Ski + Skins to move fast, light, and confidently. Designed in collaboration with Atomic’s World Cup Skimo athletes, this ultralight setup is tuned for high-output days, big vert gains, and no-compromise race performance. Whether we’re chasing podiums or personal bests, the Backland 65 UL is the gear we trust to go uphill fast and still charge the descent.

Atomic pairs its Ultra Light Woodcore—blending poplar and caruba—with full-length carbon and fiberglass layers to keep weight to a minimum while ensuring strength and control. HRZN Tech tips and tails offer added surface area for control in variable conditions, while the Full Cap construction and minimal tail rocker keep the ski stable on high-speed descents. With a World Cup base and a race-ready notch for lightning-fast skin attachment, this setup is pure Skimo performance. The pre-fit Hybrid 85 skins use Hybrid Glue 2.0 and 100% Mohair for quick transitions and reliable grip on the climb.
