The Atomic Backland 98 has long been celebrated for its remarkable versatility and ability to ski in all soft snow conditions. Still, it is time for the Backland FR 101 to take its place with even more versatility and free-ride capabilities. Featuring a slightly increased width and the advanced HRZN Tech 3D Tip, the Backland FR 101 offers incredible powder skiing performance. This design enhancement increases surface area and reduces the tip's mass/weight, facilitating smoother and faster turn initiation. The Powder Rocker has been extended to encompass 35% of the ski's total length, which enhances maneuverability and provides confidence when navigating steep and deep snow! Additionally, the Dura Cap Side Wall is engineered to withstand impacts while allowing for optimal weight distribution over the edges, thereby improving edge hold in firmer snow conditions.

Designed for the racer who has speed in their blood, the new iteration of the Dynafit DNA Ski is light, durable, and built for chasing podiums. Compared to the DNA Pro, the Dynafit is slightly softer and has a shorter radius, and more rocker. This translates to a ski that is more forgiving and performs better in softer snow, and, conversely, is slightly less aggressive and stable at speed. Developed with input from world cup athletes and pros, the DNA ski has meticulous attention to detail that sets it apart from other race skis. The full capped sidewall construction is extremely durable while also providing better power transfer and edge grip, all in an extremely lightweight package. The special race core only uses to top 10% of all premium paulownia wood, and a full unidirectional carbon top and bottom sheet reinforce the wood core for a stable inspiring downhill feel. For that extra dash of speed, the DNA also has a special racing base grind.

Nevertheless, the Backland 86 UL is not limited to advanced ski mountaineering lines. The Atomic Backland 86 UL is versatile in almost all snowpacks, barring the deepest days of the year. The All-Mountain Rocker and All-Terrain Profile provide versatile performance, adapting to various snow conditions. The HRZN 3D tip incorporates a thin, perforated layer that optimizes floatation while reducing swing weight. It also uses a beveled design to enhance flotation and facilitate smoother turn initiation, while using less material.
