Atomic Backland 107 Powder Rocker profileĪnything 95mm or less, in the Backland range, features the All-Mountain Rocker. If the ski has the Ultra Power woodcore (anything 98mm underfoot or wider), then it features Atomic’s Powder Rocker shape, with 20% tip rocker, 70% camber and 10% tail rocker. The rocker-camber profile of the Backland skis goes hand-in-hand with the wood core. This ski is about being the lightest possible, as it’s so focussed on uphill speed.

The only ski not to feature this sidewall and cap combination is the Backland 65 UL, which is a full cap ski. The length of the sidewall depends on the ski model. This slight capping is there to better protect against knocks, dinks and chipping, without sacrificing the drive of a decent sidewall. The Backland skis have a Dura Cap Sidewall casing, where a sidewall runs along the ski, with a little top-sheet rollover. Other materials, such as carbon, can be added to the core to make them perform in the way Atomic wishes it’s not just about the woods used. You still get a good level of stability and skiing performance from the poplar wood, but using karuba (rather than beech) makes these skis lighter. Atomic Ultra Light woodcoreĪll of the other Backland skis use the Ultra Light woodcore, which mixes poplar and karuba woods. This uses a blend of beech and poplar wood, as seen in their race skis, for power, drive and stability without being too heavy. The wider models, including the Backland 98 W up to the Backland 117, have the Ultra Power woodcore. The woodcore in Backland skis is one of two combinations.
