Product Info
The widest of the Backland series, the Atomic Backland Drifter Skis are a dream to own for any serious touring skier. Climbing becomes much easier with an Ultralite Woodcore and Carbon Backbone minimizing the weight greatly while keeping the strength and support for an aggressive descent. Completed with All Mountain Rocker and Step Down Sidewalls, skip the touring and bomb resort lines for equal performance. All bases of skiing are covered with the Atomic Backland Drifter Skis.
Product Details
Rocker Type
All Mountain Rocker – A rocker that's super versatile, providing performance on all snow conditions and any terrain, both on and off piste.
Core
Ultralite Woodcore – Incredibly lightweight Poplar/Caruba woods keep Backland's weight down but without compromising downhill performance.
Laminates
Carbon Backbone – An ultra-lightweight Carbon insert that runs the length of the ski like a stabilizing backbone, minimizing weight and adding a ton of strength to the entire construction.
Sidewalls
Step Down Sidewall
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain:
All-Mountain, Alpine Touring

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. Alpine Touring Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.

Ability Level:
Intermediate-Advanced

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber Rocker/Camber skis pair a traditional cambered profile underfoot with an elongated, early rise tip borrowed from fully rockered skis. This profile places the front contact point further back from the tip, while the rear contact point remains close to the tail. The rockered tip allows for better flotation and less edge catch for increased float in deep snow, while the cambered rear stores and transmits energy similarly to a fully cambered ski.
