Description

The 2023 Atomic Backland 117 Skis are built for powder-filled days and big mountain adventures. These skis are made to shine when the snow is deep, offering incredible float and stability without sacrificing performance. Thanks to Atomic’s HRZN Tech Tips and Powder Rocker profile, the Backland 117 excels in fresh powder and chopped-up snow alike, delivering smooth, predictable performance.

Designed with a lightweight Ultra Light Woodcore, the Backland 117 is easy on the skin track but doesn’t compromise on strength or stability during the descent. A Carbon Backbone running the length of the ski enhances agility and edge hold, while fiberglass laminates keep the ride smooth and dynamic. The Dura Cap Sidewall construction provides durability and consistent power transfer, so you can carve confidently even in variable conditions. Whether you’re chasing a storm in the backcountry or enjoying sidecountry powder laps, the Backland 117 has you covered with its playful yet responsive feel.
