Atomic Backland 117 Skis

This Ski Is A Staff Favorite:

Powder7 Staff Pick Brian
By: Brian
Super fun and versatile powder ski, that would be a great choice as a 50/50 ski set up with a Shift. A nice balance between being directional enough to let you drive the tips in the soft stuff, but with enough rocker at the tail to still feel slashy and playful. Can get pushed around a little when things get chopped up, but is still a ton of fun when you ski them with a little more active style. Even as a resort ski, its great to be able to ski this much ski and still have legs left at the end of the day!

Our Take On The 2024 Atomic Backland 117:

If powder touring is the game, lightweight fat skis are the cheat codes. The Atomic Backland 117 is one of the best backcountry skis in the world for earning your face shots. We have always admired how well the Backlands handle the descent. Over the last few seasons, Atomic has managed to maintain that top-of-the-line skiability while also shedding grams. The 2023 version, which features no structural updates over the previous Backland 117, surfs its way into the new ski season with an optimal ratio of freeskiing prowess to heft. Those HRZN tech tips, also seen in the famed Bent Chetler 120, plane up in every type of pow. The lightweight wood core and its carbon backbone give you enough strength to handle manky crud, crusts, and heavy mashed potatoes. And if the Bent Chetler 120 is either a) a little too freestyle-ish for you or b) sold out, the Backland 117 mirrors a lot of what makes that ski great. Where it differs, though, is in its more directional shape. Certain skiers who attack the fall line and often find themselves in big terrain may actually prefer this ski for that reason. It can be your meadow-hopper when the avy danger is high or your spine-slayer on the ultimate ski-cation. If the backlands beckon, the Backland 117 answers the call.
